Asia Argento does the dog
Argento washes hands after French-kissing Rottweiler dog-film
Italian actress Asia Argento failed to turn up at a Rome press presentation of Abel Ferrara's new film, Go Go Tales, which she claims has damaged her career.Argento, 32, recently distanced herself from the film, mainly because of a scene in which her scantily clad character is seen French-kissing a Rottweiler.
The scene was the talk of the town when Go Go Tales was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007.
"Don't get me started on Asia Argento," Italian-American cult director, Ferrara said.
Go Go Tales, which goes out in Italian cinemas, is described as a 'screwball comedy' set in a downtown Manhattan lap-dancing club, and co-stars Willem Dafoe, Bob Hoskins, and Matthew Modine.
Argento, the daughter of Italian slasher director, Dario Argento, has had a number of Hollywood hits, including Rob Cohen's xXx (2002), Vin Diesel, Gus Van Sant's Last Days (2005), and Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (2006).
