Production

Mimi Rogers said Nicolas Roeg waited for her to have her baby, so they shot four-and-a-half months after she gave birth. "My body was not what it usually is", she said.[2]

Reception

The film has been ironically called an American version of the French film La Belle Noiseuse (1991), which starred Emmanuelle Béart as an artist's model who spends much of the 240-minute feature nude, discussing relationships with the artist.[3]
