Asia Argento stars in Olivier Assayas' new erotic thriller!

By Jude April 8, 2008 10:02 PM

In the film Asia Argento plays an ex-prostitute named Sandra, forced to flee London after a steamy encounter with an ex-lover (Michael Madsen) ends in violence. After fleeing to Hong Kong she becomes involved with a young couple, Lester (Carl Ng) and Sue (Kelly Lin), who promise to help her. Things, however, are never that easy as she finds herself trapped in a game of manipulation.

There is also a brief appearance by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon (seen in the first still below). Some of you music junkies may recall Assayas also used British trip-hopper Tricky and cameo's by Canadian rock band Metric for his film Clean, which also starred his then wife Maggie Chung. Boarding Gate opened last week in limited release and is currently slated for a June 3rd DVD release.
