'Julieta' trivia and fun facts

Before the premiere of the film, Pedro and Agustin Almodovar's El Deseo has suffered the loss of one of their main actresses: Chus Lampreave.

Pedro Almodóvar cancelled all his interviews and the official premiere in Madrid after he and his brother were linked to the Panama Papers scandal.

The film originally was going to call 'Silencio', but Martin Scorsese was going to use the same title in his next project so the production company decided to call the film 'Julieta'.

Richard Serra painting appears in the film.

The original screenplay was written in English, but when Pedro and Agustín Almodóvar went scouting to Canada, the director felt insecure to shoot in a place he didn't really know, in a language he didn't master and with a story he felt worked better at Spain.
