In Olivier Assayas’ stylish thriller “Boarding Gate,” the plot may be murky, but actress Asia Argento is a clear and commanding force throughout.
Argento’s Sandra is a slinky, darkly seductive former prostitute who visits an ex-lover, Miles (Michael Madsen), in his Paris office. Although Miles had hired Sandra to cement some deals with his investment company that ensnared her in some very nasty sex scenes, she did it out of love for him. She may well still love him but is beginning to realize that Miles has always been interested in her only for her kinky sexual skills. This new awareness will have its consequences, and eventually Sandra is sent to Hong Kong by her current employer, Lester (Carl Ng), a drug smuggler using an import-export business as a front.
