Asia Argento directs and stars in a gutsy film, which is autobiographical in many ways even though she plays a fictional character, Anna Batista. Batista is a film star who is looking for a serious role to play rather than being exploited for her body. As she pursues this dream, she makes a lot of bad choices, especially when it comes to drugs.

It is like a horror film as it should be. You talk about fear of water. I would think she would be traumatized by water after almost overdosing in it. Eventually she wakes up in bed with the photographer and his female assistant. Events like this seem to be routine for her as she travels from one major city to another.

Being the daughter of a famous Italian, horror film director, Dario Argento, it is obvious she's learned a lot on his sets at an early age. Now, if she can just keep Special K as a breakfast cereal, perhaps she'll be able to tell us more about what is on her mind.
