Trivia

The TV version is a four-part mini-series: 1. Uppbrottet (The Separation); 2. Gränsen (The Border); 3. Skymningslandet (The Twilight Land); 4. Återkomsten (The Return). A total of 176 minutes compared to the film's 130 minutes (25 fps).

This is evidently the movie that in Annie Hall (1977) Alvy refuses to go to when he arrives late to a showing of it. Instead of missing the beginning of it he takes Annie to a showing of the WWII documentary The Sorrow and the Pity (1969).

One of two foreign language films to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director in the same year, the other being Seven Beauties (1975). This was the first time in Oscar history in which two out of the five nominees were foreign films. This feat would not occur again until 2018 (42 years later); both Roma (2018) and Cold War (2018) were nominated for Best Director at the 91st Academy Awards in early 2019. In fact, 1976 and 2018 are the only instances in which two foreign language films were nominated for Best Director in the same year.

Lena Olin's debut.

Italian censorship visa # 69044 delivered on 10 September 1976.
