Hustling

About This Movie

So, Hustling, directed by Joseph Sargent, is quite the piece from 1975. It dives deep into the murky waters of New York's prostitution scene, all inspired by Gail Sheehy’s real-life investigative work. The pacing is deliberate, letting the tension simmer as we follow the reporter uncovering the underbelly of wealth intertwined with vice. There's a rawness to the performances that keeps it grounded, especially considering the subject matter. It captures that gritty 70s atmosphere, which is always a treat for collectors. And the themes of power and exploitation are pretty heavy, but they resonate. It's one of those films that really gets under your skin and makes you think about the complexities of morality in urban life.
