Whore Summary
MPAA Rating: NC17
Director: Ken Russell
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Russell's avowed purpose with Whore was to avoid the glamorous depiction of prostitution common to such slick Hollywood products as Pretty_Woman. As played by Theresa_Russell (no relation to Ken), the eponymous character lives a hellish existence. Relating her story directly to the camera, Russell introduces us to her no-good former husband (Jason_Saucier), her brutish pimp (Benjamin_Mouton), and the kinkiest of her "johns." Her one true friend, a bag man named Rasta (Antonio_Fargas), also saves her life -- but not her soul. The film exists in three versions: an 82-minute R cut, an 82-minute NC-17 cut, and the 92-minute European version, which sometimes carries a rating, sometimes merely a disclaimer. Hal Erickson, Rovi
