Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Part of Spain's 'destape' era — films pushing boundaries after Franco's censorship ended, often with chaotic energy over coherence.

Trivia

Director Fernando González de Canales largely abandoned cinema after this; the film's wild tone may explain why.
