France/2007/116 mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Catherine Breillat. With
A costume drama with no holds barred, this is a ferocious feminist revision of the myth of the femme fatale. Spanish courtesan Vellini’s intemperate passions come between amoral fop Ryno and his naïve bride. Sumptuously shot and with a flamboyant central performance from Asia Argento (in a range of outrageous costumes), The Last Mistress plays salon complacency against torrid melodrama and emotional and carnal excess.
