"I only watched curiosa because Noémie Merlant from 'portrait of a lady on fire' is the lead actress. I thought she was brilliant in Céline Sciamma's film, but she is not good here. All of the acting was actually pretty laughable, everyone was trying way too hard and the performances ended up unintentionally funny. Especially Niels Schneider, he gives one of the worst performances I've seen in a while. There is a lot fundamentally wrong with this film, but there were some things I did like about it. The cinematography was interesting and the shot composition isn't bad ..."

The music played during the presentation scene of Zohra Ben Brahim is a fragment of the "Épigraphes antiques," a piano (four hands) piece reworking of the "Chansons de Bilitis" (1900/1901), that Claude Debussy wrote for a chamber ensemble to accompany the recitation of the Zohra-inspired poems by Pierre Louÿs in 1900/1901. These pieces were composed, in any case, a few years after the scene depicted, but the connection is totally adequate.
