Storia
The movie 'Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things' follows Jeremiah, a young boy living happily with his foster parents until his biological mother Sarah returns to claim him. Initially, Jeremiah's life turns chaotic as he becomes entangled in Sarah's dangerous lifestyle involving drugs, seedy hotels, strip clubs, and a succession of lovers. Some time later, Jeremiah finds temporary solace with his ultra-religious grandparents. However, when Sarah reappears, she takes Jeremiah away again, leading them on a tumultuous journey together until her self-destructive behavior ultimately consumes both their lives.
Riassunto
Directed by Asia Argento in 2004, 'Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things' is an adaptation of JT LeRoy's semi-autobiographical short stories. The film explores the tumultuous relationship between a young boy Jeremiah and his unstable mother Sarah, who leads him through a chaotic lifestyle filled with drugs, abuse, and religious fanaticism. While sources vary in detail, they collectively paint a portrait of a dysfunctional mother-son dynamic amidst a backdrop of addiction, exploitation, and ultimately, despair.
