Did You Know?
| Trivia | Anne Azoulay talked about the striptease scene: "The scene at the barre, the first scene in the film, was the most difficult for me because I'm not a dancer, and even if I was prepared for it, being alone on the dance floor with all these men watching, it was very difficult. So it was real stage fright. A real fear. But I knew that Bruno Rolland was going to film well and that I wasn't facing a voyeur artist, so there was no worry on that side. " See more » |
| Quotes |
Strip-teaseuse Le Havre 2:
Don't forget, open the dress from the back or you'll get in a mess. Undo the Velcro in one quick "rip" and pull it open. It works every time. Don't worry. And most important is once you're naked, there's not much more to do, you just dance, OK? See more » |
