Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Emmanuelle Béart and Daniel Auteuil were in a relationship and married during the making of A Heart in Winter.
- Emmanuelle Béart practised the violin for at least a year before the film began shooting so that she could convincingly mime the performance sequences.
- The film uses only excerpts of Maurice Ravel's compositions, but the soundtrack album includes them in full, played by Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Philippe Muller and Jacques Rouvier, plus a fourth Ravel piece not heard in the film; the film helped further popularise Ravel's Piano Trio.
