Anecdotes
Jane Birkin said she asked Jean-Louis Trintignant to hit her for real in a scene. "My first scene was rather difficult: I was naked in front of Trintignant in the hotel room. Moreover, in the script, it was written that he was kissing my breasts. I thought: My God, he has fallen badly! I was ashamed. Only one thing helped me: he had to slap me and make me fall on the floor. Now, when you get a slap on the mouth, your mouth becomes like cotton when you say the next lines. I had to say, 'You have a little bike in your head'. My mouth hurt and I said it in a cottony way. Unfortunately, we had to double the scene because of the camera noise, and I couldn't do it as well. I would have had to get a grip on myself! Today, I wouldn't hesitate to do it. Trintignant was nice, he didn't want to hurt me. I wanted him to hurt me, I begged him to hit me," Birkin recalled.

A Real "Original" from an Undersung Director

LOVE AT THE TOP--the utterly wrongheaded American title for the superb French film "Le Mouton Enrage" (which means, I think, The Rabid Sheep)-- is such an original movie, the fact that it dates back to 1974 seems all the more astounding. This film was far ahead of its time; even by today's highest standards, it accomplishes things that seem rich and new. Filmed by the hugely underrated director Michel Deville, it rather defies description in the way it combines social critique, comedy, mystery, love, sex and satire into one wholly original mix--leaving for the end a major but subtle surprise to render all that has gone before suddenly sad and more understandable. The cast is splendid, ditto the writing and theme. But it's Deville's delicious tone, keeping you constantly off-balance but enrapt, that pushes this "lost" film to a very high level indeed. (The written interview with the director on the "Special Features" section of the DVD is definitely worth reading if you have the time.)
