Asia's libidinal energy in "The Last Mistress"
indieWIRE: NYFF '07 Critics Notebook 2 | Sisters Doing it For Themselves at New York Fest; and a Little Boy on Boy Too: "Asia Argento portrays an irresistible Spanish courtesan under the spell of Fu'ad Ait Aatou's dandy; she's Id to his refined (and sexually inert) Superego of a wife. Ex-model Ait Aatou's overwhelming beauty takes center stage, though Argento's libidinal energy makes him seem like a case study in ennui. You can't beat a woman's fire."
