(aka "Diva escarlata")
Directed by Asia Argento
Italy
2000
In her stunning, semi-autobiographical directorial feature debut, Asia Argento plays Anna Battista, a rising young actress who, despite her popularity and success, experiences despair and degradation at the hands of an abusive industry. Her harrowing journey towards redemption leads her on a sordid spree of excess across America and Europe while trying to recapture her innocence and find true love. Newly restored in HD, SCARLET DIVA has been rediscovered by audiences and critics alike in the wake of the "Time's Up" movement for its "full-throated rage against the international filmmaking machine" and is credited as "perhaps the earliest film" (San Francisco Chronicle). *** A young Italian actress embarks on a self-destructive spree of sex, drugs and other excess while doing some soul searching to find the path for redemption. |

Film Movement Classics use a linear PCM 2.0 channel track (24-bit) in the
original English / Italian and some French languages used in the film. Scarlet Diva
has few aggressive moments that come through with modest depth
and score by John Hughes (his only feature film composition), sounding clean with consistent dialogue
in the lossless transfer. Film Movement Classics offer optional English
subtitles on their Region FREE

Asia Argento's Scarlet Diva
received notoriety for the early #MeToo cascade well before its
time. It's a fairly easy effort to dismiss but you can see innovation, a
strong cinematic spirit of expression and a certain level of
fearlessness. It's episodic and scattered but I was keen to finally see
it. I, strangely, liked it but I don't think it is something I will
watch again. Maybe in a few years. There is a protective feeling for
Asia Argento - her pain, rejections / frustrations and abuse. The Film
