Fun Fact

Although often referred to by its English title 'The Loves of a Blonde', the film's original Czech title 'Lásky jedné plavovlásky' translates to 'The Loves of a Blonde Girl', and 'Dvanásť' (meaning 'Twelve') is a less common title for it, possibly referring to a different cut or a misremembered title. The film is a seminal work of the Czechoslovak New Wave.
