Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Morgane Polanski is Roman Polanski's daughter; she reportedly refused her father's filmmaking advice, wanting Krystyna to exist outside male directorial gaze.
The 'Trench coat' character nods to Malcolm McDowell's own spy legacy in British cinema, creating meta-commentary on aging masculine institutions watching young women burn.
