What's left behind the scenes

Gilles de Rais (played by Cassel) was a real person who, after the war and Joan of Arc's death, returned to his lands. Years later, he was arrested on charges of murdering more than a hundred young boys and was executed. Some historians believe that his crimes formed the basis for the French fairy tale 'Bluebeard' about a man who killed his wives and hid their bodies in his large house.
This is the last film in which Joseph O'Connor appeared.
Kathryn Bigelow declined to participate in the film when Luc Besson insisted that Mila Jovovich, his wife at the time, play the main role.
