Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

This HBO production was part of a brief '90s boom in literary anthology films that treated short stories as prestige content for the small screen.

Trivia

Ken Russell's segment was based on a Joyce Carol Oates story and reportedly had the director fighting HBO over edits; his original cut was allegedly much weirder.
