Scarlet Diva [DVD]

for starters, im in2 films that are about people, just ordinary, no special effects, no hype, no gansta rappers, rudeboyz or explosions or so called stars... you know the kinda thing that kevin spacey makes look easy... just ordinary life and whatever is thrown in the mix. Whilst its totally different and not related at all, if your the kinda person who likes classics like the breakfast club, you might find a lot of film value here. I took the advice from the 5-star rating chap who reviewed this and purchased the film. I have to say i wasnt disappointed. Its an excellent, different and very interesting piece of film. Its not quite as appealing as B Monkey, which is the first Asia film ive seen but, you will be intrigued and interested sufficiently if you like this genre. If this is not your type of genre, you might just glaze over and become bored very quickly. I find it like marmite, you will either love it or hate it.5 stars from me - enjoy ;)

Semi-autobiographical, says the DVD cover. If that is the case, then one has to hope that Asia Argento is not the self-destructive Anna Battista character that she portrays in this film. Supposedly a successful actress, Anna is on a downward spiral, stoned out of her mind, used and abused by others in the film industry and seeking sexual relationships. Anna's friend Veronica is another abused character, tied up and beaten by her abusive boyfriend, Veronica just cannot get enough of him. Could this film be Miss Argento's take on the female psyche or just a case of self-flagellation? Maybe she believes that women are just gluttons for punishment. On the other hand, the scene in which she is pursued by a film producer looks like a warning shot about recent events that have come to light. There are no likeable characters in this film which makes it a depressing film to watch.This review is for the UK edition of the DVD. Image quality is very good. Run time is 87 minutes and aspect ratio is 1.85:1. Sound is Dolby 5.1. Language is multi-lingual with English subtitles where necessary. Extras include commentary and interview with Asia Argento, behind-the-scenes, trailer and stills gallery.

But its worth seeing it if u feel like it. I didnt regret buying this film but it wasnt what i expected to be....

Love this movie , ok its more like a home made music arty video at times , but its sexy , gothic , graphic and extremely funny , laughing at Anna who just wants to become a proper actress and also give herself to the man she loves . A real trah classic . Think Asia Argento is just so easy to watch .

I don't know where to begin. This looks as though it has been made by amateurs high on drugs.A nothing film of disjointed , total nonsense. Avoid.

dvd was in good condition

Average film

I just wanted to set the record straight......This isn't the trashy, exploitation film some people make out it is....yes, there is a little nudity - big deal! Everything featured in the film is in context, and not done for the sake of exploitation. Asia argento's first directorial debut is a thoughtful and well produced film of tragedy and "the damaged individual". If you are a fan of "film", then watch this fresh example. If you are a fan of Asia's, then definately watch this film, and maybe you will understand her better, as it takes the spectator deep into the thoughts of one of films most underrated actresses and director. I hope Asia keeps doing what she does, cause the world needs some fresh eyes and fresh talent expressed. Watch this film.
