Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This anthology emerged from a 1980s wave of feminist filmmaking collectives, with Zetterling already an established Swedish auteur while Ullmann was transitioning from Bergman muse to director.
Joni Mitchell's acting role came through her friendship with the producers; she reportedly improvised several lines in her segment about a failing marriage.
