TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The film was inspired by a dream Sophie Barthes had in which Woody Allen discovers that his soul looks just like a chickpea. Barthes wrote the first draft with Allen in mind for the lead role.

Inspired by Carl Gustav Jung's "Modern Man in Search of a Soul".

The script includes associations and intentions from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Faust", "Dead Souls" by Nikolay Gogol, "The Hands of Orlac" by Maurice Renard, and Hans Christian Andersen's "The Princess and the Pea".

The movie opens with an onscreen quote that says: "The soul has its principal seat in the small gland located in the middle of the brain." -René Descartes, The Passions of the Soul, 1649.

Paul Giamatti plays a fictional version of himself here and was also in The Congress (2013), where Robin Wright plays a fictional version of herself; the plot-lines of both movies involve acting.
