Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jonathan Pryce learned to actually bake bread for the role, though he admitted his on-screen loaves were 'professionally enhanced' by real bakers between takes.
The film sparked minor controversy in UK Jewish press for its premise, but received praise from interfaith organizations for its nuanced depiction of Muslim-Jewish cooperation in London's diverse East End.
