The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things

2004 98 min R Drama

Behind the greatest hoax of our time is the heartbreaking story that started it all.

*Precious* without redemption. A young boy is reclaimed from foster care by his volatile, drug-addicted mother, initiating a grim odyssey through poverty and abuse. Asia Argento's film unflinchingly adapts JT LeRoy's novel, a bleak time capsule of early-aughts indie transgression.

Directed by Asia Argento · Written by Asia Argento, Alessandro Magania

Starring Asia Argento, Jimmy Bennett, Jeremy Renner, Winona Ryder, Ornella Muti, Peter Fonda
