Production
The film was shot back to back with Domenico Paolella's Execution, with whom it shares the producers, the actors Mimmo Palmara and Dalia Lahav,[1] and the composer Lallo Gori.[2] It was mainly shot at the Desert Studios in Israel, with some parts filmed in Rome, in Cinecittà, Elios Studios and Ostia Antica.[1]
Reception
Italian film critic Marco Giusti described the film as "very strange, very violent and very dark, [...] shot in a very modern, fast-paced way, [...] excellent, full of inventive".[1] According to critic Alberto Pezzotta, it is a well-made film that has as its only flaw the "alternation of too many registers", that "especially takes a big risk with its melodramatic ending".[2]
