TRIVIA

Trivia

One of the contenders to play the part of Oriana Fallaci was Italian star Monica Bellucci. Her salary was, however, too high for the producers so they decided to cast Maria Rosaria Omaggio instead.

Official submission of Poland to the Oscars 2014 best foreign language film category.

Borys Szyc, Andrzej Chyra, Jacek Braciak and Mariusz Bonaszewski auditioned for the role of Lech Walesa. Eventually it went to Robert Wieckiewicz who played Adolf Hitler in the movie "AmbaSSada" at the same time.

The premiere of the movie at 2013 Venice Film Festival was attended by Lech Walesa and his wife Danuta Walesa. They were greeted by the audience with standing ovation.

Actresses Olga Boladz, Anita Sokolowska, Anna Cieslak and Joanna Brodzik wanted to play Danuta Walesa. Agnieszka Grochowska finally got the part.
