The Gigolos

A great example of modern independent British cinema. very subtle and intelligent humour. original quirky and quintessentially British. at the same time its quite dark and intriguing. great to see cameos by actresses like anna massey, who's doing her classic not-quite-sure-of-where-she-is act.

the setting of London really adds to the film, particularly if you're a Londoner you can play the "ooh i've been there!" game. contains some elements of lost in translation in it's subtlety, and some nick hornby-esquire observations on men, women and how they interact. i think there's some clips on you tube if you want to get a flavour. it's new, fresh and you might like it as much as i did.
