Plot Summary:
|
Controversial actress Asia Argento teams up with equally divisive governor Olivier Assayas for the steamy thriller BOARDING GATE. Sandra (Argento) has a life of misuse behind, but her past catches up with her when former lover Miles Rennberg (Michael Madsen) returns. Their tryst doesn't evict out as either had imagined and Sandra is forced to escape to Hong Kong. But running away only makes matters worse, and before long, she finds herself in matter of life danger and cannot even trust her closest friends...

Incomprehensible rubbish
The plot, if indeed it has one, is imposible to follow and most of the dialogue might as well be in a foreign language because it is mumbled and difficult to hear. Give this one a miss and watch the grass grow instead.
Talky but good
Ex girlfriend/prostitute (Argento) calls on Michael Madsen (looking suitably seedy here) a businessman with dodgy connections, whose business is going down the tubes.
Asia Argento deals in drugs and dreams of setting up a nightclub in China. She's prepared tio kill but not exactly suited to it or the consequences.
A good film from Assayas, though not was good as Clean (or Irma Vepp). One of Asia's best (probably since B Monkey). Talky first half. Worth a look.
