Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Alexander Payne's segment '14e Arrondissement' was his first directed work—he later disowned the entire project until archival interest resurfaced.
This was part of Playboy Entertainment's brief 'arty softcore' experiment, attempting to legitimize the genre with name directors—most of whom immediately buried it.
