The inspiration for the film came about because of a discussion Yorgos Lanthimos was having with some friends who were about to get married. When Lanthimos expressed doubts about the institution and family itself, he was struck by the idea about what would happen to a man who went to the ultimate extreme of protecting his family.
The entire film was shot on only one lens: an anamorphic lens with 50mm focal length.
Because the subject matter was so claustrophobic, the choice was made to set the film in as big and expansive a house as the production could find, complete with swimming pool and enormous garden.
The first film from Greece to be officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival in a decade.
The children's names are never given.
"Older Daughter: Mom, what is a "cunt"? Mother: Where did you learn that word? Older Daughter: On a case on top of the VCR. Mother: A "cunt" is a large lamp. Example: The "cunt" switched off and the room got all dark."
"Father: Do you want to hear your grandfather sing? ["translating" Frank Sinatra's Fly Me To The Moon to his children] Father: Dad loves us. Mom loves us. Do we love them? Yes, we do. I love my brothers and sisters because they love me as well. The spring is flooding my house, the spring is flooding my little heart. My parents are proud of me because I'm doing just fine. I'm doing just fine but I will always try harder. My house, you are beautiful and I love you and I will never ever leave you."
