Trivia

The film is dedicated to the late cinematographer Edward Klosinski, the husband of actress "Krystyna Janda" and one of Andrzej Wajda's closest collaborators. Klosinski died during filming and his wife decided to include in the movie her personally written monologue on his loss, which actually refers to the very subject of the film. See more »
