Catherine Breillat's The Last Mistress with a ferocious performance by wild woman Asia Argento, opened the San Francisco International Film Festival on Thursday night with that staple of the art house, a French romance.
Argento steals every scene as a wilful, lustful, frustrated mistress in 1835 who can't let go of her boyfriend of 10 years, even after he marries and moves away.
Against a background of lush period costumes and grand Parisian and coastal locations, Argento bares all for her art, creating a portrait of a woman who's so passionate and obsessive that it's scary. In an onstage discussion after the screening at the gilded Castro Theatre, Breillat had nothing but praise for her edgy star (``She is amazingly generous in front of a camera,'' she said through an interpreter). From http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=aFVYXmMg0Kis&refer=home "There can be no democracy unless it is a dynamic democracy. When people cease to participate then all of us will wither in the darkness of decadence."
Saul David Alinsky
