FILM::CATHERINE BREILLAT'S "THE LAST MISTESS" NOW PLAYING AT IFC CENTER

Asia Argento stars in the newest film by one of France's foremost "provocatrice", Catherine Breillat. The film, now playing at IFC Center in New York, is the adaptation of a scandalous 19th-century novel. "A reformed libertine prepares to marry a virginal daughter of the aristocracy and settle down. But his jealous lover (Argento) lurks in the wings -- and in the minds of high society's gossip-hounds -- still fiercely determined to possess him."
