Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Aljure was part of Colombia's 'New Latin American Cinema' movement, using grotesque humor to process decades of narco-violence without glorifying it.

Trivia

The Rudas twins were complete unknowns discovered in a Bogotá acting workshop; Aljure cast them specifically because he couldn't tell them apart.
