As a result, Italian actress Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi became the only female director at the 66th Cannes Film Festival, whose film competed for the Palme d'Or. For Bruni-Tedeschi, this directorial work was the third in a row, and the woman herself is better known for her film roles than for directing. The film was shot entirely with the support of French film studios. The main roles were performed by the director herself, who played the role of Louise, and the Frenchman Louis Harrel. Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi did not write the script alone, but the actress reflected some autobiographical moments in it. The final work itself was poorly received by critics after viewing "The Castle in Italy". They complained that despite all the positive emotions after the previous two works of the woman, her new film turned out to be boring, and the plot was long-winded. The general reception of the film was quite warm.
