Utopia

1983 · 187 min

A long, cold, unsparing look at exploitation that plays out with clinical patience and leaves you drained rather than moved.

Genres
Drama
Overview
A treatise on love and desire tainted by harsh reality of capitalism, in which submission to the laws of lust-as-commerce is played out by five prostitutes and their pimp, who pits them against one another so that they are incapable of standing up to him collectively.
How it feels
Slow-burning and demanding.
