Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Meirelles shot this between City of God and The Constant Gardener, using his kinetic eye on intimate spaces. The cramped theatre becomes a character—claustrophobic, sacred, doomed.
The Shakespeare play they're attempting is never fully named, but the chaos mirrors the 'Scottish play' curse—several cast members later said their careers strangely stalled post-shoot.
