Mes chères études-French movie about a struggling student who resolve to prostitution. This was quite a hard movie to watch

Mes chères études-c'est un film complètement faux.
La démoiselle qui avait écrit le roman voulait commencer les poursuites judiciaires contre le réalisateur et l'auteur du scénario pour la distortion du contenu du livre.
Elle a dit que le sujet de son livre tait totalement distinct!

Une très bonne série actuellement sur HBO, "The Deuce". Prostitution année 1970 à New-York et début industrie Porno
"He calls me Ashley."
"Shall I be Chelsea?"
"You can be whoever you want to be."
No one’s mentioned “The Girlfriend Experience, the TV show, now in its second season.” OK, not a movie, but it’s far, far better, imho, than the Soderbergh-directed film of the same title with Sasha Grey from 2009.
I can’t believe it hasn’t generated more discussion. It really seems to get the double life of an escort—and in a non-gratuitous way. She's played, most icily, by Riley Keough, who I think won an Emmy for her performance, as a steely, unknowable (even to herself) law student working as an intern at some corporate firm, while servicing, as a high-end escort, a number of tech billionaires, one of whom becomes a little too obsessed with her.
Highly-recommended. Beautifully shot, scored and directed. Indeed, I can’t think of a contemporary film that’s better about the subject, especially in the Keough character's cold, soul-destroying and barely-manageable distance between her two selves.

Haven't seen any of season 2 yet; but it has a different storyline:

The sublime Emmanuelle Beart plays the part of a prostitute in "J'embrasse Pas" and "Nathalie", which are both worth a look.

For my money she looks fantastic in J'embrasse Pas, but had overdone the plastic surgery a little by the time she made Nathalie.

As a cinema lover, it was a real pleasure to read this thread. It reminded me of many good movies such as Irma Ladouce and Leaving Las Vegas. It also gave me a few suggestions for my to see list.
However, i'm surprised there was no mention of Omerta, a french canadian series about organized crime in Montreal during the 90s. It was so popular that there were talks to do an english translation, but it was during the same time HBO was working on the Sopranos.
There are 3 reasons I like this series. It shows how life and sex work was in Montreal pre internet ad when there was an active red light district. The lady mackerel has a human and positive side, which is rare to find this kind of role. Sophie Lorain's character is a street walker but she is also one of the few who has a high sense of ethics and care despite her drug problems.
Unfortunately, I haven't found series where the roles of Johns is realistic. There are often portrayed as violent or idiotic which is not representative.

The 1972 movie “The Cowboys” (starring John Wayne) has a fun scene involving a group of traveling sex workers who have a brief encounter with some boys working on a cattle drive.

I remember that part of the movie Captn. I thought it was pretty funny.
Incidentally, I spend a lot of time in the great outdoors. I have never run into a traveling brothel when hunting or fishing. In Brazil, there are supposed to be boats that will visit the riverboats with GDPs during the evenings. Our captain won't allow this. We have to wait until we get back into town.

For me the coolest films about this topic are RISKY BUSINESS and TRUE ROMANCE. The first one made Tom Cruise a star and the second is a really underrated Quentin Tarantino film
I recently got a hold of The Client List, its a 2 season tv series starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, not sure when ill watch it but im curious.
I concur, great movie .
A great cast with a cool story-script.
The Dennis Hopper/ Christopher Walken scene is a classic
Here's another famous clip of an encounter with a prostitute.
This one happens to Sopranos gang member Paulie "Walnuts" when he accompanies Tony Soprano on a "business" trip to Naples.
Paulie manages to make a fool of himself several times during the trip (a good series of clips here).
But he outdoes himself during this encounter with a very bored and unimpressed hooker.

Here's another favorite scene from the Sopranos that involves, well, not prostitutes per se, but some women of questionable virtue, i.e. "the girls from Icelandic Airlines."
"Ho, it's the girls from Icelandic Air!"
"Ho, it's the girls from Icelandic Air!"
