THE Last Mistress is the latest and final offering of the season from Winchester Film Society next week.
Set in aristocratic early 19th century France, Ryno de Marigny has taken the young and innocent Hermangarde as his bride. Lacking the emotional connection and carnal passion in his marriage that he shared with his lover Vellini, Ryno rekindles the illicit affair with tragic consequences.
Two of cinema’s most thrilling and dynamic female talents – the provocative Asia Argento and the controversial Catherine Breilllat – join forces in this audacious and sexually-charged tale of lust and seduction.
Full of gilded dialogue, opulent costumes and philosophical musings about the nature of desire, it’s an art house treat and is showing at The Screen in Winchester on Tuesday.
