The Girlfriend Experience (2009) A drama set in the days leading up to the 2008 Presidential election, and centered on a high-end Manhattan call girl meeting the challenges of her boyfriend, her. Het is een experimentele film van Steven Soderbergh met in de hoofdrol de pornoactrice Sasha Grey die zich na deze film meer op niet-pornografische films zou gaan richten. It is only towards the end that anything happens to upset the equilibrium of Chelsea's life, hinting at what Soderbergh might have achieved with a little more focus and a lot more plot. The Girlfriend Experience is een Amerikaanse film uit 2009. The characters blur into each other, with the exception of one sleazy individual who persuades Chelsea he should get a free session in order to "review" her on his website. It drifts along, as Chelsea goes from booking to booking, listening to her clients' business and personal problems at length - the "girlfriend experience" they are paying for. Despite the subject matter and casting, the movie seems an oddly tepid affair. Sasha Grey, a real-life porn actress, plays Christine, alias Chelsea, who we see balancing domestic life with her gym instructor boyfriend against her work as a high-class escort and prostitute during five days in October 2008 (just before the presidential election and the economic downturn). Steven Soderbergh returns to his roots here, and to the low-budget aesthetics and subject matter of 1989's sex, lies, and videotape, with which he first made his mark. ![]()
