Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Aristophanes' original 411 BC play was performed during the Peloponnesian War, making this one of history's first recorded sex strikes — the film keeps that anarchic spirit alive.
Maribel Verdú was fresh off Y tu mamá también's international success — this was her chaotic return to Spanish comedy, complete with fake Greek accent and zero shame.
