| Une vieille maîtresse |
Breillat delves into the unexpected with her adaptation of the nineteenth century literary classic by semi-notorious writer and critic Jules-Amédée Barbey d'Aurevilly.
Stamping her strong and singular feminine insights on a man's material, the film is awash with intrigue and betrayal, and very much in the tradition of Choderlos de Laclos'
Les liaisons dangereuses.
This splendidly cast tale follows young libertine Ryno de Marigny (Fu'ad Aït Aattou) and his endeavors to stay away from sultry Spanish courtesan La Vellini (Asia Argento) after his marriage to wealthy, virtuous French aristocrat Hermangarde (Roxane Mesquida).
Melbourne premiere!
