Trivia

In words of the photography director

In the early stages of production, the director of photography Vittorio Storaro said in an interview: "I would not compare it to Match Point (2005). The script does a masterful job at mixing drama and comedy, each time calibrating them in very different ways. I can say that it takes place in the present, there will be laughter, but also dark chills."

Crime and punishment... with romance

When the film was coming to an end, Woody Allen stated in an interview: "I can only tell you that this is a crime film, a serious story of crime and punishment. With a dose of romance, of course."

50th movie

In 2022, Woody Allen told Alec Baldwin in.a Instagram Live that his 50th movie (previously said that it would be a drama similar to 'Match Point' 2005), would probably be his last production.
