Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dos Santos cast non-professionals from Buenos Aires and let them improvise dialogue, shooting chronologically so their actual sunburns and exhaustion became part of the film.
Released during Argentina's post-crisis 'New Argentine Cinema' wave, Glue captures a generation with no economic future and nothing to do but each other.
