Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Mark Anthony Green's directorial debut after years as GQ's Style Editor, explaining the obsessive attention to costume and image.
The film directly channels real-world obsessions with disappeared artists like Lauryn Hill and Sly Stone, while the compound setting evokes the Manson Family's Spahn Ranch.
