Continuing his exploration of the perversely intriguing depths of the black market and its smorgasbord of kinky sex, drugs and the occasional murder, Olivier Assayas' Boarding Gate follows the coyly alluring Sandra (Asia Argento) and the globe-spanning shenanigans she gets involved in on her quest to escape her past and begin anew as a Beijing nightclub owner. Captivating with its lavish locales and generous sprinkling of fetishistic sex, slightly hampered by its vague beginning and even more so ending.
