Brüder der Nacht

While supposedly a documentary, this film follows a bunch of supposed "Roma" (gypsies) from Bulgaria who have supposedly temporarily migrated to Vienna to have sex with men for money. This is literally the topic of EVERY scene...and even still, everything seems completely contrived; the camera angles, the dialogue and blocking (one characters is supposedly too drunk to stand, yet manages to hit his "mark" throughout the scene and stay exactly in frame). This is just boring on all levels.

Usually when one watches a documentary about some subculture of reality, one expects to learn something. In this case, you will learn no more than what you already knew: prostitution exists, and people usually resort to it because they are desperate for money. All of the detailed elaborations of blowjobs, etc., don't really teach us anything new. The quality of this production is on a par with reality tv. The "stars" probably agreed to participate in the hopes that they might be discovered by some movie producer somewhere. Perhaps they will be approached by a porn-production company. The whole thing is somewhat depressing. It's all posturing, posing, vanity, depravity.
