- TriviaFilming ended one week ahead of schedule. The last scene was shot on August 16 in the morning and in the afternoon a charity market was organized in which props and costumes used in the film were put up for sale. The benefits were donated to the local foundation "Zaporeak", dedicated to giving food to refugees on the coasts of Greece.
- GoofsDuring the game of chess played against Death, the table appears incorrectly rotated. According to the rules of chess, the right square on the bottom row of each player should be white. Both players should know better than to make this mistake. Interestingly, the same mistake appears in the original movie The Seventh Seal (1957) by Ingmar Bergman..
- Quotes

Jo Rojas: You wouldn't die for love?

Featured review
Predictable, Precise and Precious
As we get older and love doesn't seem to be enough and life is actually - quite simply inbalanced and almost artificial - watching Woody Allen movies brings life to the relatable and makes you laugh at the ridiculous of human behavior. Especially the fantasies of grandeur, - the intimacy between professor and the student or plumber and plumbers assistant, what have you, Rifkins Festival still plays at the comedy of the desperation and the fear to become stagnant.
Well shot. Good speed. Bold choice in actor, but the chemistry between authenticity and subtly feels balanced throughout.
Don't watch it expecting an Oscar. Watch it to enjoy cinema again. The movie also tells you that.
