What's left behind the scenes

  • While preparing for the role of a rabbi's widow, Vanessa Paradis spent several weeks talking to a young woman from a closed Jewish community, a woman with a life situation similar to that of her character. 'She was a very strong, young, beautiful woman,' says Vanessa Paradis, 'she was only 25, but it seemed like she had already lived over a hundred years.'
  • One of the few appearances of Woody Allen in a film he is not directing himself.
  • The first person John Turturro shared the new story with was, strangely enough, his barber. And the barber, accustomed to chatting with clients during haircuts, leaked everything to Woody Allen. The maestro liked Turturro's idea so much that he soon tracked him down and joined the project.
