| An Old Mistress |
This skillful adaptation of the early 19th-century novel of the same name by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly chronicles the tempestuous affair between Ryno de Marigny (Fu'ad Ait Aattou), a French dandy, and Vellini (Asia Argento), his mercurial Spanish mistress.
Awash with intrigue, betrayal and unchecked passion, An Old Mistress is very much in the tradition of Choderlos de Laclos' Dangerous Liaisons.
"Breillat's best film" David Stratton, At the Movies
