Principal photography began in September 2022 at a seaside villa in Sabaudia and was expected to continue until mid-October.[6] The Order of Time is first feature film in over 20 years by Cavani,[2] who was 89 years old at the time of the film's production.[6] Enrico Lucidi served as director of photography.[2]
