Production
Jean-Marie Straub and his partner Danile Huillet originally planned to adapt Georges Bernanos' 1928 short story "Dialogue d'ombres" in 1954. They made some preparations but soon abandoned the project. Straub revived the project in the summer of 2012, several years after Huilet's death. According to Straub he wanted to make the film because he found the right location on the countryside of Normandy.
The film was produced through Switzerland's Belva Film and France's Andolfi. The actors rehearsed for six months. Filming began on 15 June 2013 and lasted ten days. The crew consisted of eight people.
Release
The film premiered at the 2013 Vienna International Film Festival. It was released in French cinemas on 11 March 2015, together with Straub's film 'A propos de Venise'.
