Notes Maximum Shame is the third feature movie by Carlos Atanes. It can be framed as the previous ones—FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions and Proxima—within the fantasy genre. Produced completely independently, like all its author's films, it was supposedly inspired by pornographic 70's films. Thereby recovering the underground, transgressive and weird style that characterized Atanes' early work.Fernández Fidalgo, Paloma "Carlos Atanes, cine distinto", Al margen, June 15, 2010. Shooting, in English, was developed in Spain over just six days, but one scene was made in the UK with British scream queen Eleanor James.Eleanor James
