Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Wisłocka's actual book 'The Art of Loving' sold over 7 million copies in Poland and became a literal lifeline—couples hid it like contraband and credited it with saving marriages.
The real Wisłocka died in 2005 and never saw this film; she reportedly wanted Angelina Jolie to play her, which is objectively the most iconic casting delusion in biopic history.
