The Assassination of Gianni Versace (2018)

The second outing of Murphy’s American Crime Story anthology series recently concluded its run on BBC2, and saw former Glee star Darren Criss transition from teenage dream to American nightmare. Opening with the murder of fashion designer Versace at the hands of Andrew Cunanan in 1997 and then travelling back in time to explore the making of a serial killer, Versace works as both a compelling character study and an indictment of the institutional homophobia and disregard for queer lives which allowed Cunanan to evade the authorities for so long. Filmed in Murphy’s trademark lurid style, with shades of Hitchcock and Highsmith, Versace also features stunning supporting performances from Penelope Cruz and Ricky Martin.
