Production
The film is produced by the French company Prima Linea Productions. It is co-produced with Pathé and France 3 Cinéma in France and Indigo Films and Rai Cinema in Italy. It has a budget of €11 million.[2] It received financial support from Canal+ and the CNC.[6] It received 375,000 euros from the Ile-de-France region's Support Fund for Film and Audiovisual Technical Industries.[7] The project also won the Gan Foundation's Special Prize for 2016.[6]
The visual style is inspired by Buzzati's illustrations but also independent from the original book. The landscapes are inspired by real Mediterranean landscapes with liberties taken in order to create a fairytale-like atmosphere. Mattotti's ambition was to create a timeless visual style so that people who view the film in the future will not be able to see when it was made.[8]
The film was in production in November 2016. In a November 2016 interview, Mattotti expected it to be released in two or three years.[9]
