Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The entire film was shot in 35 days with natural light only, forcing Stewart to perform her most demanding scenes in a single take during golden hour.
Larraín calls this his 'fable from a true tragedy'—every historical inaccuracy (like the Boleyn hallucinations) is intentional emotional truth over documentary fact.
