2007 / 106min

A high-heeled Asia Argento clacks across the screen with flair in Assayas’s artfully sleazoid, globe-hopping corporate espionage thriller, featuring a staggering extended scene, à la Contempt, of a couple playing out their sadomasochistic relationship throughout an apartment’s many rooms and hallways, with the threat of murder dangling in the air. Boarding Gate is equal parts fever dream and paranoid mystery.
