Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

There are at least three official cuts: 150-minute theatrical, 172-minute extended, and 135-minute 'first cut' from 2005.

Insight

Kilcher was 14 during filming; her performance was so authentic many assumed she was non-professional. She learned English specifically for the role.
