Review of House of Pleasures (2011) by Carlos Z — 18 Aug 2013
In English, titled as House of Tolerance or House of Pleasures, this film follows the lives of a handful of Parisian prostitutes at an elite brothel during the turn of the 20th century(1899-1900).
Beautiful cinematography paralleled with a modern yet somehow completely fitting score makes this film an all around aesthetically pleasing experience. There is elegance in every shot, however gruesome and disturbing the content gets.
Listed under the drama genre, however, I would not recommended this Bertrand Bonello directed film to those who are not familiar with art house cinema.
