'All You Need For A Movie Is A Girl And A Gun' explores the practices and conventions of film-making through the use of 'mise-en-abime'. It is a film about re-making Visconti's 'Ossessione', but it is not always clear which events happen in the real world, which happen in the film world, and which happen only in the imaginations of the characters. The film draws heavily upon the European arthouse tradition.
