Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Anger worked with epilepsy organizations to ensure medical accuracy—the five phases (interictal, preictal, tonic, clonic, postictal) are clinically precise, not metaphor.
This predated the 'indie film girlies playing multiple versions of themselves' trend by years—Lola Kirke's postictal Joan is barely conscious yet devastating.
