Catherine Breillat's The Last Mistress is a portrait of a tramp, as static as a painting and of interest more to art historians and connoisseurs of French literature than to cinephiles.

Movie review: "The Last Mistress" is director Catherine Breillat's latest and possibly most entertaining exercise in erotica. Fu'ad Ait Aattou carries the film as a nearly broke 19th-century Frenchman who is torn between two lovers (Asia Argento, Roxane Mesquida).

Lush. Debauched. Ravishing. And did I mention sexy? The Last Mistress, from French controversialist Catherine Breillat (herself the last master of the soft-core art film), is Dangerous Liaisons, uncorseted and undressed.

By my count, THE LAST MISTRESS is the third Asia Argento film to get a release in U.S. theaters in 2008. As far as I’m concerned, that’s not nearly enough. Still, there is at least hope in that there looks like a few other titles stacked up waiting to possibly come out at some point. For now, at least, there is THE LAST MISTRESS and appropriately for a movie starring Asia Argento, it seems to be mostly...
