"Serra worked in England on Funny Bones (1995), directed by Peter Chelsom, and then again on Michael Winterbottom’s Jude (1996), which won him a Camerimage Silver Frog and teamed him once more with [Seamus] McGarvey, who was tasked with additional photography this time around. McGarvey recalls, “My gaffer, Lee Walters, and I used to laugh because I had a little light meter that I would secretly bring out to look at what Eduardo was doing with exposure, and I often couldn’t even get a reading! When Lee and I started shooting our own feature films, if the light was fading at the end of the day to the point where we had to stop, Lee would always joke with me and say, ‘You’re going to need Eduardo’s meter!’” (ASC article.)
The house is a set (in Luxembourg). It was shot in the winter. Serra used fast 500 ASA film stock. The candlelit scenes were lit (though there's a great night exterior scene which looks natural to me).
Good cast: Scarlett Johansson, Colin Firth, Tom Wilkinson, Judy Parfitt, Essie Davis, Joanna Scanlan, Alakina Mann, Cillian Murphy.
Alexandre Desplat's theme is lovely.
