Animal Action

Per the producer, for all the scenes on the beach in Sardinia, the fish were obtained from a local fisherman's catch that he had caught for the market.

While on the yacht, Giuseppe walks down a hall with a dead fish slung over his shoulder. This fish was bought dead from a London fish market.

While adrift at sea, Giuseppe appears to catch a small fish with his hands, hands it to Amber who takes a bite of it and throws it overboard. This small fish was actually made of marzipan.

On the island, Giuseppe carries a fish and a lobster that he caught, still on the spear. This fish and lobster were bought dead from the local fisherman and were filmed being eaten on the fire.

Another wiggling fish has a spear through its body. This fish had been bought from a local fisherman's catch dead and was later eaten.

Giuseppe throws an octopus at Amber and Amber is later seen "tenderizing" an octopus by thrashing it and rubbing it against the rocks. Amber also throws an octopus onto Giuseppe chest. The octopi were bought dead from the local fisherman's catch.

In a dream sequence where Amber is dancing and singing for Giuseppe, she holds a rabbit, a fish and stands by a cow. The rabbit was hired from a rabbit breeder, the cow was hired from a local farm and was looked after on set by the farmer, and the fish was bought dead from a local fisherman.

Amber kisses a fish that has a spear through its body and the fish flinches. The fish was bought from the local fisherman's catch.
