Once a Prostitute, Always a Prostitute
Interesting film about the White male dislike of White women which successfully explores the fact that this leads White women to live double lives in order to have any emotional satisfactions at all.
The emotional dissociation from pleasure and the anhedonia of the characters are well-presented and explain why prostitution (like its sister activity, pornography) should be so prevalent in an allegedly sexually-liberated Western culture.
The central issue here, becomes not that ones daughter is a prostitute, but that she wants to discover what others fear and avoid: A full life. The fact that she has made a dangerous choice is irrelevant to the fact that she feels the need to make such a choice - despite the obvious, extra-cultural alternatives.
Marine VACTH’s character tries to understand why sex is a problem for Whites yet, in the process, merely discovers White male lust as a substitute for desire - from which she cannot discover her true feminine self; leaving her as anhedonic as before. As an actress, VACTH captures the duality of her character effortlessly - along with the baleful affects of the White need for a pornography from which Whites learn their sexual behaviors.
The problem with this film is that it does not roam outside its own culture to discover a better way for people to live their sexual lives; something Whites clearly believe is impossible since Whites do not believe they can learn anything useful from anyone not White; giving the clear sense, here, of characters trapped in a social abyss of their own making.
