The Most Assassinated Woman in the World
Part of the Night Moves Strand
At the dark and bloody heart of this period film by director Franck Ribière (producer for Álex de la Iglesia) is real-life iconic actor Paula Maxa (played by Anna Mouglalis), the most famous of the Grand Guignol’s leading ladies and the titular woman, who was graphically slain on stage multiple times a day. A young journalist suspects the theatre is linked to a series of gruesome murders. After falling for Paula and learning of her painful past, he aims to save her from a mysterious killer.
