Toxic Love (Italian: Amore tossico) is a 1983 Italian drama film directed by Claudio Caligari. The film depicts a realistic and graphic portrayal of the heroin addiction that afflicted many young drifters in the eighties. The cast was entirely made of amateur actors, of whom most were or had been drug addicts.[1][2][3]

The film premiered at the 40th Venice International Film Festival, in which it won the De Sica Award.[4] It was also screened at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, in which Michela Mioni was awarded best actress.[4]
