- TriviaAccording to a number of reports in Cineuropa during the film's pre-production, the original title was "Le combat de l'ange" (The Angel's Battle). This was changed to "Les témoins" (The Witnesses) by the time initial casting was announced in November 2005.
- GoofsIn one of the first sequence you can see slightly blurred in the background the logo LCL (yellow letters on a blue background) of the Crédit Lyonnais bank. The LCL name/logo was only introduced around 2005 and there did not exist yet in 1984.

Sexy. Sad. True. Perfect.
This script is perfection. The directing is awesome. The actors are---every single one---sexy. The plot is surprising. The climax is heartbreaking. The depth of these stories is revelatory. The dialogue is witty. The characters are cherishable. The editing is astonishing. In summation, this brilliant film is revealing, true, brutal, funny. Sexy are the actors. Sad is the plot. True is the reflection of these lives in these times. Sexy are the actors. Sad is the story. True is the movie. Perfection is the movie. Bravo to all.
I don't get this minimum of 1,000 words. I loved this movie. I will say it again and again.
And it's sexy.
