When the "art" is actually a crime scene

I’ve always felt that some creators get way too caught up in the "aesthetic" of chaos, to the point where they forget the line between gritty realism and actual lawbreaking. It’s wild how easily a creative project can turn into a massive legal headache when the people behind the camera aren't actually playing a part. Has anyone else seen a movie where the production itself was more scandalous than the plot?
