Production
Actress Raffaella Rossellini accused her colleague Daniel Ezralow of using violence, including carnal violence, on the set. The offending scene is the one in which the male protagonist tries to free himself and take possession of the "witch" Rossellini, embracing and slapping her, attracting and repelling her with force, finally dragging her into a pond. But finally Rossellini recanted by filing a simple labor lawsuit.[4]
