Yes produced by a woman..can’t Aussie scriptwriters turn out better than this?

No not quite whats its sounds; Black & White & Sex despite sounding like some sort of interracial porno is an Australian film that tries to make the case that a woman being a sex worker is some form of incredible empowerment rather than the worst kind of use of human beings!

Very much an in-your-face feminist diatribe, the film provides counter arguments to every supposed myth people have about prostitution and the notion of women being “sluts”. Sorry but I am not convinced. The director spends an hour and a bit asking a prostitute about her work (there is a vaguely interesting technique of shifting the actress every now and then..same character, different person playing her which plays with our perceptions).

He however doesn’t really ask questions that particularly get into the real issues of prostitution (in particular what causes some women to only be able to feel empowered around men in a prostitute scenario), instead he allows himself to be effectively taken over and told what to do by the person he is supposed to be interviewing. Her answers to anything complicated are just brush-offs that show no real depth.

I guess if you are a middle-class feminist trying to make men feel guilty about their perceptions of women’s sexuality you will be cheering this film with tears in your ears, if however you are a working class woman forced into prostitution you may not quite be such a fan…apparently this women argues that prostitutes enjoy their work! funny I read that they call their customers “mugs” and other quite horrible things.

My opinion: a load of Australian femino-nazi garbage. Yes some very good performances by the actresses, shame they wasted their talent on this pile of manure.
