Two men, one middle aged the other much older are on cross roads. The business they worked is folding and they both look for an alternative future. As a result of some wealthy contacts the older of the two guys turns the other into a high class gigolo, a venture that seems to be going well until one of the clients is a highly esteemed member of a devout religious community.
Beautiful and visually melodic character drama about life, fate, next steps. Although not a Woody Allen film, it could as well have been one. Nicely worked dialogue, very lively characters that could be any of us make for a touching experience. It was nice to see Woody Allen in front of the camera again being his usual self, although he has obviously mellowed since his early days.
People may fade, as the likable gigolo but the human spirit does not and will not stop no matter what the obstacles.
A cinematic treat.
