Trivia

Lone Scherfig was to direct the film, but conflicting schedules made her step back and Lars von Trier handed the script to Jacob Thuesen instead.

Bent Staalhøj in the role of the film projectionist Bent is the only person playing himself.

Patricia Schumann said that being completely naked in this movie was a transgressive experience. "I had to run around naked for 15 minutes. And in addition to the real-life film crew, there was also a whole film crew playing film crew, so there were a lot of people on set," she said.
