This film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
This film and its title are inspired by Akira Kurosawa's movie The Bad Sleep Well (1960) which in French was translated to 'Les salauds dorment en paix.'
Claire Denis specifically wrote the film around Vincent Lindon. After telling him she wanted to work with him again he told her he would act in whatever she would write in.
