In the eyes of Patrice Leconte, "The Suicide Shop" cannot be made into a live-action film at all. Only animation can present its black humor and imagination to the audience. He also added singing and dancing elements to the story and made a "sing and dance comedy". The youngest son who looks at everything with "rose glasses" optimistically contrasts with the people in this melancholy town.
"The Suicide Shop" invested 12 million euros, which is quite considerable in European movies. In order to shoot this film, the technicians found a way to achieve a three-dimensional effect on the traditional 2D hand-drawn screen, and the final presentation effect is similar to a three-dimensional paper-cut book. The director also emphasized that "The Suicide Shop" was conceived as a 3D movie from the very beginning, which is fundamentally different from the "pseudo 3D" films produced in later stages such as "Le chat du rabbin" in France .
