In every scene in which the characters are drunk the actors are actually drunk as well.
Since there is a narrative gimmick to the way the story unfolds, Hong Sang-soo shot the first part of the film, edited it, and then showed it to the actors, so the actors were aware of how the situation was structured, even if their characters in the second part are not. Then he began shooting the second part.
There are 32 zooms in the film.
Hong Sang-soo defines the diptych nature of the film as a 'kind of limbo state' for the audience.
In Spain was only released in 8 theaters / Widest release: 10 theaters. The film was only projected in subtitled version.
