Trivia
Jean-Pierre Jeunet met Jodie Foster as she was supervising the dubbed version of Panic Room (2002). The main roles were already taken but Jodie Foster agreed to star in a little role, as Elodie Gordes. She speaks French fluently, so she acted with her own voice.
Quotes
Narrator:
Mathilde leans back against her chair, folds her hands in her lap, and looks at him. In the sweetness of the air, in the light of the garden, Mathilde looks at him. She looks at him... She looks at him...
Goofs
The "Gare d'Orsay" station in Paris (today the "Musée d'Orsay") is shown in the movie. We see and hear a steam train in this station. In fact, there never were steam trains in this station, as the trains were hauled by electric locomotives in the tunnel from Gare d'Orsay to Gare d'Austerlitz. Jean-Pierre Jeunet learned this after the movie was released.
