CGiii Comment

And, also stars Asia Argento - who really is an atrocious actress, sorry love - but, the delivery of the lines you wrote are laughably insincere.

Her ego is out of control - admittedly, she does succeed in looking like white trash.

The book has been proven to be a sham - and, the film is just a mere shambles.

Thankfully, this film was (rightly) ignored by the award-givers - never in cinematic history has self-inflated importance been put on screen.

Argento won nothing for this (quite right too) and was only nominated by a bunch of film journalists for some minor acting award - what do journalists know?!?
