Trivia
Gaspard Ulliel went through an intensive physical training in order to prepare for the role. He ran, did indoor gym, workouts, and rope climbs for two or three hours four times a week for two and a half months. Ulliel said it was more subtle than pure bodybuilding because he was training with a coach who was a trapeze artist. Then there was the preparation and rehearsal for fights with Mario Luraschi. It was also with Luraschi that Ulliel had to train to ride a horse, but he didn't have much time for that, as he was already very taken by the physical preparation, the training of the fights with the stick, and by the training of the dance.

Great movie with very enchanting music!

I saw this movie in the avant-premiere in a little cinema in the Dordogne. The music in this movie is very enchanting, the images are almost like paintings, so beautifully shot, such a fantastic nature. This movie is very powerful with lots of drama and love. Laurent Boutonnat has definitely evolved artistically since his last movie Giorgino (1994). Also the music, besides the classical Boutonnat elements, like arpeggios of violins, synthesizers mixed with acoustical instruments, ethnic instruments, in-versed chords and simple melodies, has definitely evolved. The main character (Jacquou), played by Gaspard Ulliel is very believable. The title song is sung by the French icon Mylène Farmer.
