Curiosidades

In the film Molina (Alexandru Dabija) presses Mariana (Ioana Iacob) on why she is focusing Antonescu and not Communism, implying political bias. In response, she states that the next project can be about Communism. Radu Jude's next project, Uppercase Print, focused on repression and surveillance under Romania's Communist regime.

Asked if she was comfortable with her nude scenes, Ioana Iacob said, "It's not and I don't think it's for anyone. But in that setting, where there are so many people, and care was taken to have a more intimate set, you focus on so many other things, that it becomes secondary and then you're not horrified by your own nudity. And if you're focused on what you have to do... It was weirder between shots, when you would take something on, then take it off again - until you actually started to enter the scene. I didn't know Serban [Pavlu]. We met a few times, we did a rehearsal, and after that the first scene was to undress."
