David (Sir Ben Kingsley) tells Consuela that she looks like Goya's Maja Desnuda. Penélope Cruz (Consuela) plays Pepita Tudó in Volavérunt (1999), possibly a model for the Maja Desnuda.
(At around one hour and twenty-three minutes) When David (Sir Ben Kingsley) receives the call from Consuela (Penélope Cruz), the spine of a copy of "The Dying Animal" (the Roth novel on which this movie was based) can be seen atop the stack of books beside the phone on David's counter top.
Penélope Cruz said that she felt very comfortable in the nude scenes because director Isabel Coixet is "very protective and those sequences were in the script. There was a reason for that... Anyway, what has taken me the most effort are the scenes with load emotional".
That's the kind of Death that Dennis Hopper had in Real life, because His character in this Movie died of Cancer.
When Consuela is napping on the beach, the book beside her is Selected Essays by John Berger.
