Did You Know?
| Trivia | Isabel Pisano had some problems with the scene in which Àngel Jové's character shaves her pubis. Pisano was warned about the sequence and that Bigas Luna would not accept any double, and the actress simply demanded that only the cameraman and the director be present at that moment. "I had to explain to her," said Bigas, "that a good part of the crew, especially the electricians, had been hired for four bucks and that if they had accepted it was because they knew that this sequence existed. She understood it perfectly and didn't put any problem." See more » |
