Provocative French filmmaker Catherine Breillat (Sex Is Comedy, Anatomy of Hell) sexes up the eighteenth century costume drama in The Last Mistress, a lush and lavish love triangle that has Asia Argento at its tip. The sultry actress plays Spanish courtesan Vellini who casts a deadly spell over Paris and tempts penniless rake Ryno (Fu'ad Ait Aattou) from his fiancee Hermangarde (the ever radiant Roxane Mesquida). Full of gilded dialogue, opulent costumes and some philosophical musings about the nature of desire, it's an arthouse treat.

Which of us cannot remember a moment when we did or said precisely the wrong thing, irretrievably, irreparably? The instant the action was completed or the words were spoken we burned with shame and regret, but what we had done never could be repaired. Such moments are rare, and they occur most often in childhood, before we have been trained to think before we act. "Au Revoir les Enfants" ("Goodbye, Children") is a film about such a moment, about a quick, unthinking glance that may have cost four people their lives.
