Review of The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (2004) by Lee B — 27 Mar 2010
Asia Argento presents a bleak, disturbing and horrific film. Argento refuses to undermine the story by offering no final solution. The films main purpose is to make the audience feel very uncomfortable.
Problems like child abuse are easy to put aside as coverage of real life events must always be handled with tact. Argento goes for a more direct approach. Argento and the boys all give sterling performances, and are aided by a never-ending stream of boyfriends from Manson-Renner.
The Sprouse boys have certainly come along way and their performances are intune with each other. Wonderful, but not light, stuff.
