Franka Potente (still best know for Run Lola Run) and Asia Argento (shocking as always in The Last Mistress) are always interesting. For who they are. For the movies they make. In Argento’s case, the films she has directed. Now they are branching out on new literary paths.
Argento recently published Victims They Know So Well, a collection of personal breakup letters addressed to her by lost loves in different cities. Potente published Zehn, a collection of stories set in Japan. Argento’s texts, in English and French, are beautifully annotated with drawings and photos — by Argento. Potente’s stories are — unfortunately for those who do not speak the language — in German.
Actresses Who Write: Asia Argento and Franke Potente originally appeared on About.com World / Independent Film on Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 at 11:35:51.
