Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

One of the earliest Mexican films to engage with cyberpunk aesthetics, predating mainstream Latin American tech-anxiety cinema by years. It bombed commercially but became a VHS legend among film students.

Trivia

Bruno Bichir and Damián Alcázar would later dominate Mexican cinema—here they're in a surrealist obscurity that barely anyone saw upon release. The title translates roughly to 'Where Dreams Are Born and Die,' which is doing a LOT of heavy lifting.
