Trivia
After the German premiere at the "Berlinale" the movie was confiscated as suspected pornography. However, 18 months later a German federal court permitted release in cinemas without any cuts.
Shot in Japan, the undeveloped film had to be shipped to France for development, due to Japan's strict censorship policies.
