Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Shot on location in Ginostra, a real volcanic island with fewer than 50 residents; cast and crew had to boat in daily supplies.

Cultural

The film's disastrous reception—4.0 on TMDB—reflects distributor abandonment; it barely screened outside Italy despite the star power.
