José Saramago, the author of the novel upon which the film is based, wanted to attend the premiere of the film at the Cannes Film Festival. His doctors didn't allow him to travel, so Fernando Meirelles flew to Lisbon, Portugal, to show him the film.

Saramago was ultimately enthusiastic about the film. He cried afterwards and told Meirelles that watching the film made him as happy as the day he finished the book.
