Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Gaz de France (2015)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The set for the Élysée palace's second underground floor in Gaz de France was decorated with all the objects French presidents had received as gifts from foreign dignitaries, a dressing meant to symbolise the unconscious of the Republic.
- To bring down the cost of production, Benoît Forgeard and his collaborators decided to make Gaz de France a single-location film, a huis clos; the director's interest in politics as theatre was the starting point of the 2015 comedy.
