Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title references Fernando Amorsolo's famous painting 'The Muses of the Mountain' — Paraluman literally means 'muse' in Filipino, but specifically the unattainable, divine kind.
Director Marc Misa shot the fantasy sequences with different film stock to blur reality/illusion — notice how Paraluman's skin literally glows in scenes where she's 'touched' versus the flat digital look of the studio.
