Is a documentary. "101 Rent Boys Uncut" is a series of interviews with male prostitutes and hustlers in Los Angeles back in 2000. It's poignant, it's titilating, it's at points disturbing.
Above all, I was struck by just how unflattering it was to its subjects; how like caged animals they were treated and coaxed to perform.
So ultimately I found the work sad. A sadness rooted more in the filmmaker's ability to present their subjects, than in the subjects ability to perform for the camera.
