TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Heart surgery scenes in the film are real. They were filmed during an operation on a real patient who was undergoing quadruple bypass surgery which Colin Farrell attended.

The film's title comes from the ending of the tragedy Iphigenia in Aulis by Euripides.

Colin Farrell admittedly felt nauseous after reading the script for the film.

Though their characters are romantic interests and two years apart, Raffey Cassidy (Kim) is ten years younger than Barry Keoghan (Martin). They were 14 and 24 during filming, respectively.

Alicia Silverstone and Nicole Kidman became part of this project because they were both fans of Yorgos Lanthimos and begged him to cast them.

Popular Dialogues

"Martin: You know, not long after my dad died, someone told me that I eat spaghetti the exact same way he did. They said what an extraordinary impression this fact had made on them. Look at the boy, look how he eats spaghetti. Exactly the same way his father did. He sticks his fork in. He twirls it around, around, around, around, around. Then he sticks it in his mouth. At that time, I thought I was the only one who ate spaghetti that way. Me and my dad. Later, of course, I found out that everyone eats spaghetti the exact same way. Exact same way, exact same way. This made me very upset. Very upset. Maybe even, um, more upset than when they told me he was dead. My dad. Martin: I don't know if what is happening is fair, but it's the only thing I can think of that's close to justice."

"Steven Murphy: A surgeon never kills a patient. An anaesthesiologist can kill a patient, but a surgeon never can."
