The Last Mistress

I've seen two of Catherine Breillat's previous films (Fat Girl and Romance) and liked them well enough at the time. I'm not usually a period piece kind of guy but I am an Asia Argento kind of guy.

The movie was good enough. Sort of maybe a bit of Sense and Sensibility with a bit of kinky softcore porn thrown in for good measure. The movie was a bit slow and then all of a sudden there was a duel and a bullet being extracted from a dude's chest and Argento licking the blood from the wound as the horrified doctor looked on. Her father, the king of Italian horror, must be proud.
