Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'body horror' keyword isn't accidental — the film treats nicotine addiction with Cronenberg-esque physicality, smoke literally consuming bodies.
Goldwing emerged from LA's alt-comedy scene; the film's surrealism carries DNA from Tim Heidecker and early Safdie brothers.
