Production

Erika Anderson said that in the scene where Nicolas Cage paints her naked body, the actor "put in such brutality and such participatory violence, that I was terrified, I felt really violated. We had to stop shooting and do it all again the next day. The rushes were pure pornography, they traumatized me."
