Filmed in situ in The Stark Space of the Ateliers Berthier with its towering stone walls, Stéphane Metge's film does more than merely capture the production of Phaedra directed by Patrice Chéreau; it seems to recreate it. In this empty space where palace steps can easily transform into the entrance to a tomb.

Dominique Blanc portrays the woman torn apart in front of our eyes by a forbidden love, a confession that cannot be confessed and that leads her to suicide: her love for her stepson, the chaste Hippolytus.

Chéreau's interpretation of Racine's tragedy of desire and death, centers on the question of “How to say the unspeakable” and the portrait of this beautiful, lost woman, this living disgrace who breaks all the taboos,
undermines all the rules. Patrice Chéreau and Dominique Blanc take us to the edge of the abyss, the boundless, bottomless enigma of female desire beyond all reason and morality.

本片是在 The Stark Space 實地拍攝,四週被高高的石牆包圍。 Stéphane Metge 導演的這部電影並非簡單地用攝錄機捕捉了柏德烈.薛浩導演的《菲爾德》之製作過程,它似乎是把這戲劇重新創作一次。在這空曠的空間內,宮殿的大門很容易變成墓穴的入口。

Dominique Blanc 演繹偷偷愛上了繼子依保列德,但又不能表白心聲的雅典皇后菲爾德,她痛苦之餘最終走上自殺的路。

薛浩改編哈辛這齣有關慾望與死亡的戲劇,主要是探討 “ 如何表達不能言語的 ” 這問題,並描寫這名美麗失落的女性因打破了一切傳統與禁忌而活在恥辱中。
