According to director/producer Sir Ridley Scott, every scene of the film (except the London scenes) was shot within eight minutes of his home in Provence, where he has been living for 15 years.
Max Skinner's wardrobe is largely influenced by Russell Crowe's own uncle, David William Crowe.
Proprietor of the vineyard where the movie was shot and his daughter can be seen in the restaurant scene when Marion Cotillard hands menu to said daughter.
Director Sir Ridley Scott came up with the basic story that author Peter Mayle wrote in the book on which this film's based upon. When the book was published, Mayle's ideas were actually very different from Scott's original premise. Scott then decided to film the story as he envisioned it from the very beginning.
The line that Max says while floating in the pool (as it is filling), "What is it, Major Lawrence that attracts you personally to the desert?....It's clean." This is from the classic film, Lawrence of Arabia (1962). Sir Ridley Scott has another Lawrence of Arabia (1962) reference in his film, Prometheus (2012), in which Michael Fassbender's character, David, seems to have an affinity for.
"Uncle Henry Skinner: You'll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing, however, can elicit great wisdom. Not least of which is, uh... how much more enjoyable it is to win. It's inevitable to lose now and again. The trick is not to make a habit of it."
"Max Skinner: Forgive my lips. They find joy in the most unusual places."
