If you’ve not seen Charles Curran’s 2019 documentary
See Know Evil, put it on your watchlist immediately. A moving depiction of young photographer Davide Sorrenti’s life, leading up to his untimely passing aged just 21, the film seeks to set the record straight on his position within the so-called heroin-chic era of the 90s – and necessitates a box of tissues next to you if you do decide to hit play.
