Production

The Artificial Paradises name was inspired by the title of the book of the same name by Baudelaire. "I read the book and thought the title fit perfectly in the film, although addressing another era, the mid-19th century, and the consumption of other drugs, wine, opium and hashish," admits Prado.[3]

Filming took place between 18 October and 25 November in Praia do Paiva, in Recife, and also in Rio de Janeiro, in the traditional Arpoador beach.[4] Some external scenes were filmed in Amsterdam.[3]

The original soundtrack of the film was produced by Rodrigo Coelho and Gustavo MM.[5]
