The project was originally envisioned with Serge Gainsbourg's real life daughter, actress Charlotte Gainsbourg to play him in keeping with the film's surreal and fairytale-esque tone. Six months into rehearsals and preparation Gainsbourg pulled out telling director Joann Sfar, it was proving to emotionally painful and he would have to make his “beautiful film” without her. Sfar had always approached the film with her in mind and was ready to abort the project when fate lead him to Eric Elmosnino.

The scene in the film where Serge Gainsbourg asks France Gall if she would like him to write her a 'dirty song' and then describes a song about a girl who loves sucking lollipops references the song “Les Sucettes” which he wrote for Gall in 1966. France Gall didn't initially understand the lyric's double-meanings and was appalled when it was pointed out after the song's widespread popularity and still refuses to sing it to this day.

Laetitia Casta had a dance teacher for her sexy dance to Bardot's song “Comic Strip”. She pointed out that the teacher was “a bit boring” and told director Joann Sfar she “needed no help in getting the audience a hard-on”.

Originally the last act of the film was to feature Serge Gainsbourg in his grotesque style continuing from his scene in the hairdressers. The film's producers said this would lose the audience and advised against it.
