All the sculptures made by Ava are in reality made by Miquel Navarro, a well known artist from Spain.
The original screenplay was written in English, and Meryl Streep was approached to play the lead. When Pedro Almodóvar and Agustín Almodóvar went location scouting in Canada, the director felt insecure about filming in a place he didn't really know, in a language he hadn't mastered, with a story he felt worked better in Spain.
Based on three stories by Alice Munro: "Chance," "Soon" and "Silence," from her 2004 collection Runaway.
The working title was Silencio, after one of the short stories of Alice Munro, but when Pedro Almodóvar learned that Martin Scorsese was making a movie with the same title, he decided to changed it to Julieta.
Almost every shot contains the red color.
