Filming note:
"It would be necessary that the film gives the impression to have been shot without electricity, that any effect of light is completely banned. That all the film bathes in a uniform light which does not benefit any character. That it is the same light for all. It's a film about speech, the image here is used to carry the word. (...) Here it is the word that takes the place of bodily contact, as well as the noises, the cries of dogs, the sound of words ... "Cahiers of cinéma n ° 400 October 1987.
Adaptation of Duras' novel "Abahn Sabana David".
