Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Matthias Schoenaerts spent two months boxing, doing MMA training on a daily basis and also doing weightlifting and eating junk food like burgers, ice-cream and pizza in order to gain weight and a little belly, because Jacques Audiard wanted Ali to look strong but not fit, a bit unhealthy because the character is poor, so he doesn't have the means to feed himself properly.

Quotes Alain van Versch: [Talking to Stéphanie on the phone] What are you doing?
Stéphanie: At this moment? In life? Or in general?
Alain van Versch: I wanted to say that...
Stéphanie: I'm not asking for anything. I'm hanging up. I'll call you to ask about Sam. Give him a kiss?
Alain van Versch: Don't hang up! Don't hang up!
Stéphanie: I won't hang up.
Alain van Versch: For three hours... he was in a coma. For three hours, he was dead. I was scared of losing him. Don't leave me!
Stéphanie: I won't leave you!
Alain van Versch: I love you.
