Transylvania (2012)

"Transylvania" is a French drama that follows a woman adrift in a gypsy camp near the Carpathian Mountains. She's torn between two men and her own fraying identity. Asia Argento carries the film with a loose, unguarded performance. Her character's recklessness plays out in scenes of real physical abandon. The archive holds 4 clips pulled from the film. They catch Argento nude and moving through explicit encounters that mirror her spiral. The film stays stripped-down and atmospheric throughout. Argento gives it something rawer than most actresses would dare.
