Ode to Azia: an Asia Argento official website

Welcome

Welcome to Ode To Azia, an official website 100% dedicated to the multitalented Asia Argento!

Ode to Azia started as a small fansite in 2003, kept growing over the years, and has since then become the largest resource for Ms. Argento on the internet. It's been an authorized Asia Argento fansite from the beginning, but it recently become her second official online home.

Ode to Azia is a bit like Asia Argento herself: not everyone may like us, but we're here to stay!

I hope that new visitors will leave the site with a better knowledge and appreciation of Ms. Argento and her work. And I also hope that old time fans will keep coming back for their Az fix.

While we're at it, I'd like to remember you all that I'm always looking for contributions, so please consider donating scans, videos, anything.

Enjoy the visit! :)

        “Ma da regista voglio parlare d’altro. Ora sono una mamma militante”

        GIANCARLO DOTTO
        ROMA

        Mutevole (e incantevole) è la donna sopra ogni cosa. Quella che va su e giĂą a piedi nudi e abiti casual nell’acquitrino del terrazzo di casa è la stessa, giuro, che solo pochi giorni fa posava in tacchi alti e lungo Armani sul tappeto rosso della Croisette. La stessa che si orienta esperta tra le pappine e i pannolini di Nicola che, se potesse, canterebbe a gola piena «Mamma son tanto felice», come Luciano Tajoli, ma ha solo sette mesi e i primi dentini che spuntano e soffrono, anche perchĂ© non capiscono la crudeltĂ  del non ritrovarsi piĂą di colpo a mordere la tetta della felicitĂ . Mamma Asia ha finito di allattare. «Al citofono suoni Civetta. Michele Civetta, mio marito». Lo dice, «mio marito», con il piacere di dirlo.
        Incontrare Asia è come indossare un occhiale prismatico. La scomponi in decine di frammenti, ma alla fine è sempre lei. Una ragazza samurai con i suoi codici d’onore e i suoi atti di fede. Reduce da Cannes, a 34 anni, la sua passione militante è oggi la maternitĂ . Ha chiuso per sempre i conti con certo passato selvaggio e caricaturale, l’immagine piĂą marcita che marcia della bad girl che infilava le dita in tutte le marmellate proibite del mondo, appena in tempo, prima di diventare la dark lady e tutto il catalogo dello scandalo da manuale. Per la prima volta, Asia sta bene nella sua pelle. Al punto di farsi scorticare i tatuaggi in cui piĂą non si riconosce. Il laser fa male. La carne che brucia puzza. La felicitĂ  è anche questa.

        Devo chiamarla signora Civetta?
        «Oh sì, mi piace molto».

        The last time Asia Argento was at Cannes, she had three films in the festival. In one of them, she distracted an ex-lover by idly masturbating in front of him (Boarding Gate); in another, she licked the blood off her wounded lover’s chest (The Last Mistress); and in the third, she made out with a Rottweiler (Go Go Tales). This year, the fearless Italian actor-director was no less ubiquitous on the red carpet, but she kept a discreet silence throughout the festival as a member of the nine-person jury, which, rumors suggest, was a hotbed of acrimony.

        While in Cannes, Argento also co-presented the European premiere of the “OneDreamRush 42-Second Film Showcase,” a project sponsored by 42Below Vodka and the Beijing Film Studios, in which 42 filmmakers were each asked to make a 42-second short film exploring “the world of dreams.” Booze-hawking gimmick notwithstanding, the roster of assembled directors is impressively eclectic, ranging from veteran auteurs (David Lynch, Abel Ferrara) to avant-garde greats (Kenneth Anger, Jonas Mekas) to hipster provocateurs (Harmony Korine, Gaspar NoĂ©); Argento’s husband, filmmaker Michele Civetta, is one of the project’s producers, and they both also contributed shorts. We called up the couple in Rome to talk about 42×42, and to find out what Argento would divulge about her Cannes jury experience.

        Nella rosa del palmares fino all’ultimo o mai considerato per i premi del 62esimo festival di Cannes? “Posso parlare solo dei film che abbiamo premiato, su tutti gli altri, compreso ‘Vincere’ di Marco Bellocchio, non sono autorizzata a parlare. Devo rispettare il regolamento”, ha detto all’Ansa, Asia Argento, elegante in abito da sirena,

        Vincere” represents Marco Bellocchio’s sixth time in Cannes. His new movie tells the tragic story of Ida Dalster, the first wife of Benito Mussolini, who was later airbrushed out of the official accounts of his life. “Vincere” is a likely contender for Cannes awards. Early reviews were quite positive.

        “Vincere” is the only Italian film in competition at Cannes this year. The title of the film borrows from one of Mussolini’s slogans, which means ‘to win.’

        La signora del festival racconta l’amore per il marito
        e (per la prima volta) l’affetto per l’ex

        di Paola Jacobbi su Vanity Fair 21/09

        Bentornata, Asia.
        … Asia non può far troppo tardi. Deve andare a casa, far da mangiare, stare con i suoi figli …Asia è …a Cannes …in giuria… E, alla serata inaugurale del Festival, aveva un abito di Giorgio Armani: chiaro, colorato, luminoso. Sembra un’altra persona.

        Dov’è finita la ragazza trasgressiva?
        «… io sono diventata famosa quando avevo diciassette anni… era difficile sopravvivere essendo sempre se stessi. Così, mi sono inventata un personaggio…»

        ONEDREAMRUSH is a very cool-sounding collaborative effort between filmmakers, writers, actors and actresses that was created by the New Zealand Vodka brand 42BELOW and, as such, is the first implicitly branded content ever admitted to the Cannes Film Festival.

        Essentially, a bunch of world-renowned artists were brought together to create 42 films, each 42 seconds long and all of them about the interpretation of dreams. Among those featured are Abel Ferrara, David Lynch, Asia Argento, Michele Civetta, James Franco, Kenneth Anger, Arden Wohl, Sean Lennon, Mike Figgis, Harmony Korine and so many more. Each director’s film will be featured at this website for one year, and the complete work will begin a tour following Cannes that will take it through New York, London and Rome.
