Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Christina Ricci learned basic pole dancing for the role but insisted on doing her own 'clumsy' falls to maintain Miranda's vulnerability.
The film deliberately withholds which identity came first, suggesting Miranda herself may not know — a radical departure from noir convention where the femme fatale's 'true self' is typically revealed.
