Has first submitted a script for An Uneventful Story to the communist authorities as the follow up project to The Saragossa Manuscript, when it was rejected he made The Codes (Szyfry) instead.[2] The film was the director's first after a hiatus of 10 years, after Has had a number of projects blocked by the communist authorities because he had taken The Hour-Glass Sanatorium to the Cannes Film Festival against their wishes.[3] It was filmed in the city of Tarnów in the Polish province of Małopolskie.[4]
The film was released on 12 September 1983.
