法国电影大师弗朗索瓦·欧容的喜剧作品，亦是其“女性三部曲”（《八美图》《花瓶》）的最后一部，改编自法国剧作家乔治·贝尔和路易·韦纳伊的同名戏剧。故事背景置于上世纪三十年代，贫穷演员玛德琳被指控谋杀，在好友帮助下成功翻案并成为名角之后的种种故事。欧容以经典默片戏中戏的表现手法，轻松又略带无厘头地敲响了荒诞时刻：“坏人”因一出谎言成了好人，带来一场属于坚毅姐妹花的胜利。“于姨”伊莎贝尔·于佩尔以世界著名女演员莎拉·伯恩哈特为原型，在本片中饰演一名“天降神兵”般的关键人物。

Holzemer, who has previously directed documentaries about Dries Van Noten, Anton Corbijn, William Eggleston, David Lynch and several other important artists, accompanied Eidinger during the summer of 2021, when the 45-year-old actor was preparing for, and starting to play, the main part in a stage production of Everyman. The Play of the Rich Man's Death by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The play, which became one of the hits at this year’s edition of the Salzburg Festival, provided Holzemer with an opportunity to glimpse Eidinger's intensive working method while preparing for a new role. Holzemer subsequently followed Eidinger to the USA for his first appearance in a major Hollywood production.
