This week my posts are dedicated to the French. Today to Catherine Breillat’s new film The Last Mistress, the opening night film of the San Francisco International Film Festival. According to the festival write up, “The film continues Breillat’s candid exploration of female sexuality in a smartly crafted period drama starring the alluring vulpine Asia Argento.” Did you say female sexuality? Hmmm. Not explicitly a queer film, although the story is based on the controversial novel by 19th century author and dandy Jules-Amedee Barbey d’Aurevilly. If your a lesbian like me, any exploration of female sexuality is worth a good hour and a half of my time. And there’s something about period films that brings a special innocence and excitement to “exploring sexuality.” The film is playing tonight in San Francisco so look for it hitting an art house theatre near you this coming year.To check out the trailer click here.Btw. Asia Argento.
