Asia's demons
Asia Argento stars as Anna, an Italian actress who is way out of control. She is the self described "lonliest girl in the world." She trys to cope with her pain of alianation and traumatic childhood memories through sex, drugs, and a baby, all of which fail her miserably. Every attempt at happiness ends in disater. She decides to try to write a screen play, and that is the only thing that she has any positive control over. This is a very dark look at being a star, and it is based on Asia's life (in the interview on the DVD, she admits the movie, which Argento also wrote and directed, is extreamly autobiographical), and it is pretty bleak. The movie ends more or less the way it starts, she is still lost, with no understanding of how to make herself happy. Asia says in the introduction not to feel sorry for her, but you really can't help it. She is lost, and you only want to help. The people that Anna runs into in the movie are all out to use her, for fame, drugs, or just sex. I liked it, but it isn't for everyone. It's pretty grim.

Scarlet Diva
"Scarlet Diva" stars the spoiled, famous Italian actress Asia Argento as a spoiled famous Italian actress. In the interview before and after the movie, Ms. Argento explains that the movie is very autobiographical. She plays Anna, a celaberty with everything money can buy, except happieness. She tries to drown her sorrows and tramatic childhood dramas with drugs, sex, and ciggerettes, but it dosn't work out, instead everything gets worse. She has a one night stand with an Australian grung rocker, gets pregnet, and then finds out he is marries. This is a very deep movie, with a Argento baring everything; her body, her mind, and yes, her soul. Asia Argento wrote and directed "Scarlet Diva", and she explains in t he interview found on the DVD, she nbeeded to to deal with very horrible childhood memories. I liked it; I thought it was daring, very revealing, and an intematly personable film, and I appreicated her sharing it. She says before the movie begins "Don't feel sorry for me, I am not the 'loneliest girl in the world'". Well, I couldn't help it, after the treatment by everyone to her, I just wanted to wrap my arms around her and assure her that everything would be ok. But I would have been lying, and Asia Argento would know it.

Chaotic
This is a semi-autobiographical movie directed by Italian film starlet, Asia Argento. The movie is rather chaotic, which may fit with the life being portrayed, but does not make for a very good movie. The lead character, played by Asia herself, flits around from one strange incident to another - partially out of loneliness, partially out of looking for love and companionship, and partially trying to find her niche in life. It's a sad story filled with drugs and wrong choices - or at least what appear to the viewer as wrong choices. Unfortunately, disconnected from any explanation of the significance of the movie, it leaves one feeling like they wasted a few hours of time watching something rather pointless.

The interview on the DVD of Asia Argento sheds some real light on the meaning behind the movie and had I watched that first I might have interacted with the story differently. Even with the interview as background I don't consider this to be a particularly good movie.
