** The magic candy is a reference to Creator/MarcelProust 's ''In Search For Lost Time'', specifically to the madeleine incident. Both the candy and the cake are able to trigger flashbacks in the protagonists. [[spoiler: And Madlyn probably has that name 'cause she's the one who gives Céline and Julie the candy once they rescue her]].
** The whole thing with Camille's sister's clothes in a chest is a reference to Creator/HenryJames 's story ''Literature/TheRomanceOfCertainOldClothes'', with Camille standing in for Viola.

* CompetingWithACorpse: Enforced by Olivier's vow to his late wife to never take another partner. No matter how much Camille tries to emulate her dead sister, Olivier will not stray (and Sophie will make sure he doesn't either).

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Downplayed, as the characters never address the audience directly, but it is one of the themes of the movie. Céline and Julie treat the events at 7 bis, rue du Nadir-aux-Pommes more like a movie than things that actually happened. The whole resolution is the girls' basically making a SelfInsert FixFic of Madlyn's birthday to rescue the murder victim.

* LeaveTheCameraRunning: Kind of a habit for director Jacques Rivette, and this film certainly has moments of this. Take for instance, the opening footchase (see ShoutOut) that seems to go on and on until the heroines have practically covered all of Montmartre.

* LeFilmArtistique: It's French, three hours long, includes seemingly completely unnecessary scenes, has a plot (when you get to it) whose closest comparison would be ''Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'', and the ending... borrows heavily from Theater of the Absurd, that's all we'll say. It's actually ''un film très charmant'' if you're patient with it. In fact, it is director Creator/JacquesRivette's most commercially successful and accessible film. If you want a real challenge, see if you can sit through all 13 hours of "Out 1" -- if you can find a screening, that is.
