101 RENT BOYS UNCUT

Sometimes a very simple premise yields surprisingly complex results. And that is the case as documentarians Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey (The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Party Monster) take their camera to Santa Monica Boulevard and a series of motel rooms where they pay $50 each to 101 different male prostitutes not to have sex but to talk about their lives and work. What we see is a fascinating assortment of men (most young, some well past their hustling prime) who reveal themselves to us. Some are gay others gay-for-pay, many are drug addicts struggling to get by while others claim that their life of renting their bodies is a fine way of making a living. Alternately funny and shocking, some of the men (not all 101 get speaking parts) are obviously playing to the camera while others genuinely expose their real selves. They talk about how they got into the business, their first tricks, their real sexual orientation, what they will and won’t do for a buck. A sexy and fascinating film. You’ll never trick the same way again! The video and DVD contain over 30 minutes of additional footage considered too racy for the theaters and cable.
