What happens

The Most Assassinated Woman in the World (French: La femme la plus assassinée du monde) is a 2018 French mystery thriller and the debut feature film directed and produced by Franck Ribière. It stars Anna Mouglalis, Niels Schneider, Eric Godon, Sissi Duparc, André Wilms, Michel Fau. The leading lady of Grand Guignol Theatre in Paris, Paula Maxa (Anna Mouglalis), is known for being murdered in every show on stage. Someone starts to notice that there is a link between these murders and a series of murders in real life. The film is the first Belgian movie made for Netflix. It was shot in a 1.85 : 1 screen ratio through Spherical lens. It is loosely inspired by the work and life of actual French actress Paula Maxa. Filmed over the course of a month and a half on an estimated budget of €4,500,000, the film was released straight to Netflix after a premiere at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival in April 2018.
