Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

A major portion of both ‘The Taming of the Shrewd’ and ‘Taming of the Shrewd 2’ were lensed in Lesser Poland Voivodeship AKA Małopolskie, a province situated in the southern region of Poland. While the first part showcases the greener pastures of the province, possibly representing the growth of love between the two main characters, the sequel displays the snowy and cold version of Małopolskie, symbolizing the coldness and a rough patch in their relationship.

 

In particular, the production team was spotted taping several pivotal sequences of the second installment in and around the town of Zakopane, which is situated at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. The snow-clad mountains in the backdrop and several local residences are a regular feature throughout the film. Most of the interior scenes of both the parts were supposedly recorded inside actual establishments.

Warsaw, Poland

For shooting purposes, the filming unit of ‘The Taming of the Shrewd’ also traveled to the capital of Poland — Warsaw. The city scenes involving the main character before she moves to her hometown were possibly lensed in and around Warsaw, with the modern cityscape filling the background of several scenes. Over the years, Warsaw has hosted the production of numerous films, such as ‘Tonight You’re Sleeping with Me,’ ‘Floating Skyscrapers,’ ‘My Secret Terrius,’ ‘All Our Fears,’ and ‘The Art of Loving: Story of Michalina Wislocka.’
