“Wretched Creatures” is based on the novel of the same name by Alasdair Gray, published in 1992. The film was nominated in 11 categories at the Academy Awards and won four awards.

The Victorian-inspired costumes come as an additional touch to make the viewing experience more exciting and special. For "Miserable Creatures", special lenses were chosen to obtain a specific effect for the scenes, with an emphasis on zoom and fisheye lenses, which are usually used to focus on emotions.
