The prerequisite for Mexican actor Gael García Bernal to get the role in this film is to practice his pure Spanish accent. Among the films, the film that ignacio and Anric saw in the cinema was Essa Woman (1969). This film is the opening film of Cannes Film Festival in 2004, and it is also the first Spanish film released at the opening ceremony. The story structure of this film took the director Pedro Almodovar 10 years to complete. Almodova dedicated the film's premiere in Cannes to the victims of the serial bombings in Madrid, Spain. Gael García Bernal lost his temper in an interview with Lynn Hirschberg, a reporter from The New York Times, because the reporter said that he had fallen out with director Almodova for shooting gay sex scenes. Besides cultivating a pure Spanish accent, Gael García Bernal should also master Spanish body language and learn from Flamengo. Although Beenaert has seen many movies of famous Spanish actresses, what he wants to imitate most is alain delon's performance in 1960 "Buried in the Sea". The film was originally rated as NC- 17, but the oral sex in the film made the film finally rated as R, and the ending of the film was finalized during editing.
