Trivia, gossip, news, or even shameful secrets around " Teeth" and his shooting!
Tours and turning
Teeth was filmed between March and April 2006 in Austin (Texas) and surrounding cities, where the environment was symptomatic of American small towns and their suburbs. The two towers of the nuclear plant that takes up a good part of the landscape have, however, been added thanks to the magic of digital.
gore film?
Those who expect to see gallons of hemoglobin dumped on the screen will be disappointed by
Teeth , since it is something that Mitchell Lichtenstein
has immediately sought to evacuate:
'J' Dawn have deliberately kept away from any blood component. It remains pure, never really abused or disgraced by his assailants. "But the director was still required to satisfy horror fans: "(...)
fans of gore will however find some scenes that could satisfy their taste for hemoglobin. And if you do not hide your eyes during these sequences, you will have the opportunity to see some penis amputated. "
Friend of anatomy
John Hensley, who plays Brad, the half depraved-brother of Dawn, is well known to fans of the series
Nip / Tuck , where he interprets Matt McNamara, the son of one of two surgeons.
The origins of evil, by Mitchell Lichtenstein.
"The biggest challenge of the creative process of the character of Dawn was probably the answer to the question of the origin of its anatomical specificity. I finally decided that it was not really for me to decide, while opening the door to various opportunities. In honor of SF films influenced by the radioactive threat that flourished in the 50s, I suggest the beginning of the movie Dawn of the singularity is a consequence of the two giant towers of nuclear plant located near the house where she grew up. But I also love the assumption that women have finally managed to anatomically adapt to their environment after millennia of repression, oppression and other forms of aggression. "
A monster movie. .. monster without
Despite its fantastic premise, Teeth
away like that, consistent with the desired treatment by director Mitchell Lichtenstein
:
"When I thought about being interested in a real case of vagina dentata, I realized there were a number of things to consider and many choices to make. For example there was no question for me to get Dawn in the guise of a monstrous creature. I also knew I wanted to highlight his initiatory journey, how she would find out who she really is. This dimension of the story that I really wanted to emphasize. Dawn's virginity should be at the heart of this story, because it resulted in much of what was coming. "
The stickers golden
In one scene
Teeth , the Stickers walleye are hidden certain details well chosen a book of anatomy. The origin of this idea, a true story, as told
Mitchell Lichtenstein :
"I remember reading an article about the school in Lynchburg, Virginia where the board had censured the book illustration for anatomical biology of the female genital tract. On one side they left intact the reproductions of the male penis, and the other they were removing any mention of the vagina, arguing that this was a violation the natural modesty of women. The most shocking thing in this story is that it has place in 2000. I feel that maintaining vis-à-vis the female anatomy such a climate of fear, disgust and discomfort refers directly to the Middle Ages. "
Festivals
Teeth allowed Jess Weixler
won the special jury prize from Sundance for her performance.
Mitchell Lichtenstein has, meanwhile, failed again with the grand jury prize. The film was also in competition at the Deauville festival in 2007.
