Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Saori Hayami was only 22 when cast as Lalah, making her performance as the enigmatic Newtype even more uncanny.
The Manaus setting deliberately echoes Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo — another film about obsession, rubber barons, and civilization eating itself in the jungle.
