Of course with a movie such as the 2000 movie "Scarlet Diva", you sit down to watch it because it stars none other than Asia Argento. And truth be told, that is also why I opted to sit down and watch this movie that was written, directed and starring Asia Argento.
Oddly enough I haven't stumbled upon this movie before now in 2021, 21 years after it was inititially released. Sure, I knew that the movie existed, but it was not a movie that I was in a rush to track down and watch. But I happened to get the chance in 2021, so of course I sat down to watch it and to check it off my movie list.
Sure, the synopsis and concept idea behind "Scarlet Diva" sounds interesting enough, but the movie's transition from script and storyboard to screen was not a particularly pleasing one - pardon the pun. Sure, I get that the movie was about a self-destructive spree of sex and drugs, but seeing Asia Argento simulate her way through one sex scene after another, just grew very stale, very quick. And I ended up giving up on watching the movie to the end. The storyline was just watered down and diluted by the endless parade of sexual scenes.
I am sure that "Scarlet Diva" does have some entertainment value to people out there, however, I sat down to watch a movie for the sake of being entertained by a proper storyline, and not just sit through and watch Asia Argento nude and performing sexual scenes.
"Scarlet Diva" was a swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me. Sure, I will admit that the synopsis sounded like there could be some greater potential here to this movie. But it was just a sleaze-fest, truth be told.
I am not returning to watch the rest of "Scarlet Diva" as the movie fell completely short of providing me with entertainment.
My rating of the 2000 drama "Scalet Diva" lands on a mere two out of ten stars.
