Trivia
John Malkovich shot the movie in French. Despite being fluent in French it was a challenge to learn so much French dialogue, and he worked with a coach, the director's daughter.

Goofs
Mr Blake is obviously a very intelligent man, and fond of playing chess. However the improper backwards set up of the chess board is obvious. Unfortunately the chess board was incorrectly set up, so that the bottom-right square is black.

Unfortunately as a consequence, the black queen and king plus the white queen and king are all on the wrong starting squares. No one ever plays the game of chess with the bottom-right square as black, because then all the kings and queens would then be incorrectly placed on the wrong color starting squares. How to set up the pieces on a chess board: First set up the board so that the bottom-right square is white . . . Place a rook on each of your two corners . . . Place the knights next to the rooks . . . Place the bishops to the inside of the knights . . . Place the queen on the remaining, matching-color square . . .

Manic pixie dream fake butler.

A little too contrived. Throws a lot at it to make it quirky but not enough sticks. Too little Fanny Ardant. For a Brit Malkovich speaks with a pronounced American accent. Also, I know he can speak much better French than that. And he insists on speaking it even with native speakers of English, which makes no sense. His turn of phrase is also unnaturally complicated and it's difficult following him. It's telling when I can understand the French characters much better than him.

Nice surprise seeing the guy from Profilage here. He brought some much needed freshness here.

The sights are beautiful but not quite enough to make up for the forced campiness. Very cliché plot and resolution with a few good scenes here and there.
