Sex and Schnabel to close TIFF Cinematheque's run at Jackman Hall

Sex and Schnabel to close TIFF Cinematheque's run at Jackman Hall: "Breillat's more recent work is by far the most accessible (and enjoyable). Period costumes and castles are stunning backdrops for her continued exploration of women's fantasies and sexual politics. The Last Mistress (Une vielle ma�tresse, Aug. 9) is definitely a highlight in the series, starring Asia Argento as a brash courtesan who is the subject of whole lot of gossip in aristocratic circles. Bluebeard (Barbe bleue, July 22, July 29), mentioned above, is the centerpiece and the Toronto premiere of the film."
