What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's title coincides with the title of a 19th-century Irish ballad by Robert Dwyer Joyce, dedicated to the 1798 rebellion.
  • The man playing the piano in the cinema is actually a taper. It's Neil Brand, who became famous as a composer and accompanist in the television series "Silent Clowns" (2006).
  • Ken Loach is not widely popular in his home country. Only thirty copies of this film were ordered throughout the United Kingdom (in France, for example, ten times as many were). After receiving the Palme d'Or, the number of copies increased to one hundred and five. Before that, no Loach film was shown on more than thirty-five screens.
