Film Movement: Asia Argento's Scarlet Diva Coming Soon to Blu-ray

U.S. label Film Movement has announced that it will release on Blu-ray Asia Argento's directorial debut Scarlet Diva (2000), starring Asia Argento, Daria Nicolodi, Selen, Jean Shepard, Herbert Fritsch, Joe Coleman, and Vera Gemma. The release will be available for purchase on September 25.

Synopsis: 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 high-definition, 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 #MeToo film (San Francisco Chronicle).
