TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, with its three hundred seventy inhabitants, became part of this movie. Two hundred fifty people from the area were recruited as extras. The population was informed daily about what was going on.

Although Johnny Depp lived in France at the time of filming, he doesn't appear in any of the scenes shot in France. All of his scenes were filmed on a set, or on-location in England. All of Dame Judi Dench's scenes were filmed in England. The DVD commentary notes that her husband was very ill during the shoot, and it was important for her to be close to home.

Juliette Binoche went to a chocolate shop in Paris to learn how to make chocolates. Some of the chocolates she made were used in the festival scene.

As the camera is zooming out on the village, at the end, during the credits, you can see a man walk through the lower half of the square. Director Lasse Hallström wanted to be able to prove that it was the actual village, and not a miniature.

When we finally see him hopping away, Anouk's imaginary "kangaroo", Pantoufle, was played by a wallaby. Three trainers were on-set trying to make the creature hop a certain way.

Popular Dialogues

"Pere Henri: I'm not sure what the theme of my homily today ought to be. Do I want to speak of the miracle of Our Lord's divine transformation? Not really, no. I don't want to talk about His divinity. I'd rather talk about His humanity. I mean, you know, how He lived His life, here on Earth. His *kindness*, His *tolerance*... Listen, here's what I think. I think that we can't go around... measuring our goodness by what we don't do. By what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think... we've got to measure goodness by what we *embrace*, what we create... and who we include."

"Serge Muscat: We are still married, in the eyes of God. Josephine Muscat: Then He must be blind."
