La Vellini (Asia Argento), a 19th-century courtesan with pillowy lips and flashing eyes, is a woman ahead of her time. She intoxicates everyone with her sexual potency, even though, at 36, she is at least 14 years older than all of the old maids around her. Seducing only whom she wishes — including a younger aristocrat who tries desperately to subvert her power — she's the ideal heroine for French director Catherine Breillat to continue the painterly, deeply witty exploration of the paradox of powerful female vulnerability that she began in Fat Girl and Sex Is Comedy.
