Interesting facts

A Monster with a Thousand Heads is a 2015 Mexican thriller film, directed and produced by Rodrigo Plá and written by Laura Santullo. The film stars Jana Raluy, as a wife desperate to beat the bureaucracy, when her insurance company refuses to approve the care her husband needs to survive.

Production

A Monster with a Thousand Heads is the fourth feature film from Uruguayan-Mexican director Rodrigo Plá, following La Zona (2007),

Desierto Adentro (2008) and La Demora (2012). The screenplay was written by Laura Santullo, based on her novel of the same title. The main actors, Jana Raluy and Sebastian Aguirre, recreate "desperate characters" without

exaggerated gestures and postures, "enhancing their work", according to Columba Vértiz de la Fuente of Proceso. The actors read the novel beforehand and rehearsed many times before shooting. Raluy stated that her father died of cancer shortly before the filming started, and that helped her to create her character.
