This film owes it origins to a different script written by Arlette Langmann, Les Filles du faubourg, a vast fresco taking place over several years, with half a dozen teenagers none of which emerged as a main character. À nos amours (For Our Loves) is famous for having revealed the Sandrine Bonnaire, who was only 16 at the time. “She inspired us. Naturally, I taught all the technical stuff, but undeniably she was a major driving force” (M. Pialat). Pialat, who plays the role of the father himself, made great use of improvisation during the shooting of the film. À nos amours won the César for Best Film in 1984 and also for Most Promising Actress.
