| | Last Mistress
Catherine Breillat DVD
While the film has a sedate façade, it is in keeping with the graphic work of her previous films. Ryno de Marigny (Fu'ad Ait Aattou) is about to marry the beautiful and sweet Hermangarde (Roxane Mesquida). Underneath the surface, however, lurk infidelities and other dark secrets. Argento is a perfect Vellini, at once carnal and terrifying but also sensual and alluring. He is so devoted to her that he has decided to make a clean break from his ongoing affair with the tempestuous Vellini (Asia Argento). Controversial director Catherine Breillat (ROMANCE, FAT GIRL) delivers her most ambitious film yet with THE LAST MISTRESS. The striking Ait Aattou, who makes his first screen appears, confirms Breillat's gift of getting the most out of non-actors. Adapted from the novel by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, the film is set in 19th-century France, when the world was a seemingly much more innocent place. By the end of his story, even she is concerned that he is in too deep with Vellini and that the couple's torrid romance will continue. Nonetheless, Ryno and Hermangarde get married, but Vellini's lure proves too strong a temptation.
Breillat's biggest production to date also feels like one of her most personal. One day, Hermangarde's grandmother, the Comtesse d'Artelles (Yolande Moreau), convinces Ryno to tell of his affair with Vellini, which he does.
