What's left behind the scenes

  • Elena Lyadova dubbed the voice of Vera (played by Maria Bonnevi). The search for a voice actress lasted several months, running parallel to the film's editing process. Over seventy candidates were auditioned. To remain impartial, the director decided that all of them would dub two key scenes incognito. He then listened to the recordings and selected a few voices for the final stage of auditions. Ultimately, Elena was chosen: her voice, according to the director, perfectly matched the image created by Maria Bonnevi in the role of Vera.
  • The film was shot in several countries – in France and Belgium for urban exteriors, in Russia, in Moscow – for studio and interior shots, and also in Moldova, where a house, a bridge over a ravine, a church, and a cemetery next to the church were specially built for the filming. It proved particularly difficult to design the church and cemetery – they shouldn't contain obvious signs of belonging to any specific denomination. The church, like the house on the hill, had to look very old in the frame, which required meticulous work from the set decorators with textures. For this task, German specialists were invited to the art department, who, using modern technologies, were able to create “high-quality mossy stone” and “age” the wood.
  • One-third of the film stock used to shoot 'Exile' – namely 20,000 meters of Kodak – was presented to Luigi De Laurentiis in Venice in 2003 as a prize for Best Directorial Debut ('Return'). Another third was also a prize for 'Return'. A certificate for 17,000 meters of Kodak negative film was awarded by the Nika Academy for Best Russian Film of 2004.
