One of the movies getting a lot of buzz at Tribeca is Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience. I first heard about it from this little snip on New York Magazine titled, "Porn Stars Gone Legit". Great title, no?
It reminded me about this blog I used to read called Confessions of a College Callgirl, which chronicled the life and mind of, well, a College Callgirl. She was sometimes vulgar, sometimes insightful and many times bared her soul to her readers. An eloquent writer, she gained quite a following documenting her adventures in Callhood, searching for answers as to how it became her life, and struggling to leave it behind. Now she's a writer for a paper somewhere (and veyr anonymous). I guess Soderbergh caught wind of her-- it seems obvious that she was a source of inspiration.
The star of the film is an actual Porn Star-turned-serious-actress, Sasha Grey, who, judging from reviews, gives a surprisingly good performance (insert joke here).
I'm excited to check it out.
