ROGER EBERT: OPENING FRIDAY AT THE GRAND >>>

Set in Paris in 1835, The Last Mistress is the story of a notorious libertine (Fu'ad Ait Aattou) who attempts to be a faithful husband to a rich young lady, despite his helpless enslavement to his mistress of 10 years (Asia Argento). He is devoured by the mistress; their mutual obsession is more potent than any love. Directed by Catherine Breillat, famous for her explicit films, now bringing the same passionate power to an elegant period piece.

Ed. Note: Full review will run here Thursday. It opens at The Grand Cinema Friday, Aug. 1 at 6 p.m.

The Grand celebrates United Artists 90th anniversary with a film series opening with Midnight Cowboy, Raging Bull and The Great Escape Friday, too.
