Fading Gigolo (2013)
Country: US
Technical: col 90m
Director: John Turturro
Cast: John Turturro, Woody Allen, Vanessa Paradis, Liev Schreiber, Sharon Stone, Sofía Vergara
Synopsis:
A part-time florist and general odd job man is persuaded by his bookseller friend into casual employment as a gigolo, but contact with a widow from a strict Hasidic community gives way to love and confusion.
Review:
Pleasingly acted, directorially assured romp through the New York-set sex comedy and conventions of Allendom. A light confection, it does not delve too deeply into modern urban mores, and offers surprisingly attractive propositions for our long-on-the-shelf toy boy. Still, its insouciance is part of the charm.
