3* DiedDuringProduction: Irène Némirovsky never got to finish the novel she started in 1941, because in 1942 [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, since she was Jewish]]. This very novel wouldn't even have seen the light if it hadn't been saved in a suitcase which was kept by Némirovsky's daughters, who escaped death.

7* FakeNationality:
8** Creator/MichelleWilliams (American), Creator/MargotRobbie (Australian), Creator/RuthWilson (British), Creator/SamRiley (British), Creator/AlexandraMariaLara (Romanian-German) all play French people. As for the British-born Creator/KristinScottThomas, it might not count since she's lived in France since she was 19 and obtained citizenship.
9** Belgian Matthias Schoenaerts as the German Bruno von Falk.
10* IronyAsSheIsCast: Creator/AlexandraMariaLara as a French mother who fears German occupiers. She's German in RealLife (albeit Romanian-born).
11* PlayingAgainstType: While this is another of Tom Schilling's roles as a German military man serving the Third Reich during WWII, Schilling here plays a despicable ThoseWackyNazis type in stark contrast to his past roles in ''Film/BeforeTheFall'' and ''Series/UnsereMuetterUnsereVaeter''.
