The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (2004)

"The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things" is a 2004 drama based on JT LeRoy's controversial novel. It follows a young boy dragged through a chaotic, abusive childhood on the fringes of society. Asia Argento directs the film and also stars in it, doubling as one of its most fearless creative forces. Her performance leans into the story's rawness rather than away from it. The archive carries one scene clip from the film, showing Argento nude on screen. It's a brief but unguarded piece of a project she clearly shaped with her own hands. For anyone following Argento's more daring, art-house choices, this hub offers a direct line into that work.
