Anyone think the mistress was as ugly as a mud fence?


WHOA!!! Where was the makeup artist on this film? She was eeeewgly. The guy on the otherhand was smokin! :P

reply

She was ugly, but she was meant to be unpretty. The guy even tells the grandmother how nobody could imagine how such a woman has so many lovers. He himself says she is an "ugly mutt" but there was something different about her.

Yeah I think Asia Argento is beautiful. She's got a really sexy attitude, and I think that is part of what makes her so attractive.

reply

I thought she had a certain appeal. Ryno, however, looked like he was pulled out of a morgue drawer.

That gives me an idea for the sequel, where we find out she's a vampire and he's a zombie.

reply

LOL Good one!

Asia's jolie laide appearance is what makes her so appealing.

reply

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I think she's looks prettier now that she's older, too. She was a little gawky when she was younger.

I’m really getting to see people’s prejudiced eye, and I don’t think the OP even notices it or knows why. She doesn’t look like a WASP, so that relegates her to being ugly like “dirt”. You see this on many boards, to anyone that doesn’t look like that blonde, blue eyed ideal. It’s rather scary and unfortunate, as they must miss a lot of the true beauty of the world.

Asia was beautiful in this film esp nude! Now Rynos 2nd Mistress, Sarah Pratts character "Countess De Mendoze" was ugly in my opinion!

I don't know about Asia.. but the guy who played Ryno was hot hot HOT. No wonder she kept going back to him no matter how much he cheated on her.

As far as Asia is concerned she has a fierceness about her that Tyra Banks would die for.

Yeah, she's interesting in an attractive way.

uuh...Asia Argento is smokin

reply

Anyone who thinks Asia Argento is unattractive should probably have their eyes checked.

I certainly wouldn't kick her out of bed.

I think this thread shows why there is someone out there for everyone. People see different things in other people.

I have noticed, for example, that when a man is caught having 4 or 5 wives in various parts of America he is almost always a very plain, or even homely, man.

reply

Ever been to a Goth club? Same thing there, lots of pretty women with homely men ;)

I thought the Mistress was ok looking, especially when she was licking the ice cream. His wife had a very pretty face but she was way too skinny for my tastes.

Also I think the Mutt comment was more about the French being snooty about her background of being a mix of Italian Princess and a Spanish Madador...

People like the OP are very suggestible. If a movie says a character is unattractive they will then perceive them to be no matter what they look. In no universe is Asia Argento ugly, makeup or not. Roxane Mesquida was the one who looked ugly in this movie. The blond hair on her is atrocious. She looked gorgeous as a brunette in the other films I've seen her in, Sex is Comedy, À ma soeur!. Catherine Breillat should've cast a naturally blonde actress with a more innocent face, which was another problem with Roxane Mesquida in this film- she looks too devilish to play such an innocent character.

If it would not have become a horrible habit to look at other humans by the standards of artificiality, then questions like this would never arise.
