Review of House of Pleasures (2011) by Carlos M — 20 Mar 2015
Visually aesthetic and pleasing film that shows how we can understand humanity and camaraderie from anywhere. The stories of the girls is not one of pity but of struggle and living and surviving in a world that treats women as objects.
The film shows that a discussion is needed when it comes to prostitution as it shows at the end of the with the way prostitution is today in its current climate. Maybe the film shows more of being an advocate of brothels with is gaiety and life and safety, though there is a risk of attack as is shown.
Though the film explores the nihilism of prostitution and the girls wanting to get out for a better life, its the colours of the photography that bring it to life with its authentic looking shots and decor.
A very good film.
