Hustler White

Hustler White (1996)

Ein Klassiker des schwulen Stricherkinos

Der liebeskranke Autor Jürgen Anger reist nach Los Angeles, um dort die berüchtigte Sexworker-Szene zu erforschen. Als er dem bildhübschen Stricher Monti Ward begegnet, ist es um jede professionelle Distanz geschehen. Anger ist derart besessen von dem Objekt seiner Begierde, dass er Monti durch die ganze Stadt verfolgt, vorbei an Szenarien eruptiver Gewalt und sexueller Lusterfüllung. Über allem schwebt die Frage: Haben die beiden in der rauen Realität käuflicher Liebe als Paar eine Chance?

The film contains multiple cinematic references, with some lines read verbatim, including quotes and scenes from: Sunset Boulevard, Easy Rider, Trash, 3 Women, Rosemary’s Baby, The Killing of Sister George, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and Death in Venice.

They also used the hustlers' homes, and other cast members' including Ron Athey's house in Silver Lake Hills, as location spots for filming. Portions of the film appear in the music video for "Misogyny" a track by Canadian rock band Rusty which appeared on MuchMusic and Musique Plus in the 1990s.
