Production
Peter Weir wrote the script, an original, specifically as a vehicle for Gerard Depardieu to introduce him to a wide English speaking audience.
Partial funding for the film was provided by the Film Finance Corporation Australia and Union Générale Cinématographique. Although the film was set in America and did not feature Australian actors, the fact it was written, directed, filmed, designed and edited by an Australian enabled it to receive funding from the Australian government.
The soundtrack includes "River," "Watermark," and "Storms in Africa" by Enya, "Holdin' On" by Soul II Soul, "Oyin Momo Ado" by Babatunde Olatunji, "Surfin' Safari" by The Beach Boys, and "Subway Drums" by Larry Wright.
