The Economics of “The Girlfriend Experience”

Steven Soderbergh has created another piece of gold. This film is highly recommended for anyone who appreciates artistic cinema or economic discussion. As a person who is interested in both, I found The Girlfriend Experience to be thoroughly enjoyable and highly thought provoking.

*They even discuss the FED and buying gold! (who would have thought?!)

Please check-out Pietrobruno’s GFE: GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE. You might find the film (and the interview link below) interesting.

INTERVIEW:
http://www.toromagazine.com/?q=node/1606

SYNOPSIS:
A man obsessed with prostitutes discovers that love is a lot more expensive than sex. A peek into the world of prostitution from the client’s point of view. Movies often portray sex-workers, but their customers remain well hidden – faceless and nameless. Pietrobruno’s GFE: Girlfriend Experience calls attention to this bias, at the same time as it shifts the cinematic gaze onto the client.
