THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE

Steven Soderbergh
USA 2009
77 min
V'09

Chelsea is an upscale Manhattan call girl who provides more than just a sexual encounter. Despite a wide variety of happy customers, Chelsea wants to expand her business. Her real-life boyfriend Chris, a personal trainer at a downtown gym, has come to terms with his girlfriend's level of experience, not to mention the posh apartment they share as a result of her success.
Chelsea is played by Sasha Grey. She is 21. Since 2006, according to IMDb, she has made over 170 porn films, but wasn’t hired by Soderbergh because of her willingness to have sex onscreen; there is no explicit sex in the movie and only fleeting nudity: The film is intent on her face. Notice the very small nods and shakes of her head. Observem her word choices as she sidesteps questions without refusing to answer them. When her roommate insists on knowing the name of one of her clients, she is adroit in her reply. This film is true about human nature. (Roger Ebert)
