Trivia
Isabel Coixet claims that she came up with the idea of
Rinko Kikuchi's character while promoting
The Secret Life of Words (2005) in Tokyo. Coixet was taking pictures during a walk through the city. She arrived at a fish market and tried to take one of a girl who was cleaning fish. The girl refused to get photographed, so Coixet started imagining possible reasons for that refusal.

The film is boring, illogical and derivative.. clearly the script if forced and the directing unfocused. The contrast between the attractive (thin girl with feminine hair and bangs) girl and her vocation and mentality reminded me of kill Bill and Odishon/Audition.
