Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Croatian title 'Zapaljiva' carries double meaning—flammable, but also incendiary as in provocative, capturing how the film ignites paranoia without showing a single flame.
Barić improvised much of her physical performance, including the repeated checking of windows—a detail drawn from her own experience of growing up in post-war Croatia where threat lived in ordinary spaces.
