Claire Dolan
Here's another Irish emigration movie. Don't bother though as it's terrible. A woman works as a 'high-class' call girl to pay off pimp Meaney. Nearly every second scene involves stylised sex. The rest is just as bad. For example for some reason Meaney counts his money sitting in the middle table of an empty pub. Then there's the stilted dialogue, fancy camera angles, and empty streets in New York! Really bad and pretentious stuff. Also, of course there's a silly music score (similar to the later Helen) with a continual eerie tone all the way through the film.
