One Hour Fantasy Girl is a blissfully simple yet extensive portrayal of the hardships many experience in Hollywood; viewed by many as the one place in the World where everyone will make it big. The storyline for this indie film is excellent, and the cinematography and music build up an excellent atmosphere. The quote at the beginning of the film, 'if I've got some money, anyone's going to be my friend; no one loves you when you're down and out' really stood out, only the second time, but portrays how tough Hollywood can really be
The story follows Brandi as she works as a 'fantasy' girl, providing men with one hour of time in Heaven - acting out whatever they wish. The film focuses on her meetings with first of all Roger, who is a middle aged businessman with lots of money and a lost soul. His acts that he asks of Brandi come across as unusually odd which when she meets her next client Bobby, a young College drop-out, who only asks her to help him increase his self control lures her into thinking that he is kinder, and friendlier than Roger had been.
Brandi meets a couple more times with Bobby, who then invites Brandi to move back to Montana with him, where he comes from. Before she has a chance to stop him he has taken what little money she has attempted to save and fled, revealing that he had given a false name. This presents an unexpected twist in the film just as one had expected the pair to bond.
The film continues when Brandi encounters a new client Sal, who owns a Real Estate company - (this had been her dream, Brandi is seen reading a book on Real Estate and how to get rich quick). After Sal asks her to his office a couple of times Brandi rings him back and asks if she can work for him - evidently after watching her on the phones Sal asks her back, expressing how well she had done with customers. In the end Brandi found her dream.
There are many things I could continue to mention, the flashbacks expressing Brandi's hardship as a child, and the Diner sequences, where Brandi would go to sleep. Nice touches in my mind, the Diner sequences especially - and this I would like to think ties in in a parallel storyline showing the equal possible hardship as the owners accept girls off the street to stay the night for some extra small cash.
Go and watch it, if you get the chance. You'll enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing more from No Restrictions.
