TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Turkish immigrant Senay also has a poster of controversial Turkish director Yilmaz Güney in her temporary apartment. Güney produced many works of 'gritty realism' devoted to the plight of ordinary, working class people in Turkey. At odds with the typical state-sanctioned films and the then Turkish government, the director eventually fled the country and later lost his citizenship.

French actress Audrey Tautou's first English-speaking role.

The book Guo Yi recommends to Okwe is The Greek Myths by Robert Graves.

Damien O'Donnell was originally attached to direct, but he decided to pass after problems with Harvey Weinstein. He directed Heartlands (2002) instead.

The first film from Celador, the company behind TV quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (1998). Steven Knight, co-creator of the hit show, also wrote the script for Dirty Pretty Things.

Popular Dialogues

"Guo Yi: You know, Okwe, good at chess usually means bad at life. You do realize that she's in love with you, don't you? I've been with her 20 minutes, and I know it. But then, I'm bad at chess..."

"[Senay is a Muslim] Juliette: So, what did happen? Senay: Before, I was a virgin. Juliette: Jesus... Senay: Mohammed. [Both laugh]"
