Maja Wampuszyc, who portrays Marion Cotillard and Angela Sarafyan's aunt, also taught the actresses how to speak Polish.

James Gray told that he was watching Giacomo Puccini's opera 'Il Trittico' [directed by William Friedkin in 2008] and crying, and said to his wife: 'You know, they don't make movies about women anymore, like the old ones with Barbara Stanwyck and Greer Garson.' And she said: 'Why don't you make one?'. So Gray wrote a role for Marion Cotillard similar to Puccini's sin-haunted nun Sister Angelica. Gray also used his own family's history, the movie is also based on the experiences told to the director by his grandparents who were Russian immigrants who came through Ellis Island in 1923.

Ewa Cybulska: Has it become a sin for me to try so hard to survive?

Bruno Weiss: See, you think there's goodness in everybody, but there isn't. So you go and forget about me, and forget about this place. And you forget the things that I made you do. Because I took everything I had from you and I gave you nothing. Nothing. 'Cause I'm nothing. You... are not nothing.
