Fading Gigolo is almost exactly what it says on the tin. The film follows John Turturro’s character, a man who is encouraged, or rather, pimped out by his friend, played by Woody Allen, to be a gigolo. Upon hearing the suggestion for the first time he says incredulously that he is ‘not a beautiful man’. Whether that’s the case or not he certainly entertains a beautiful following, counting amongst them the likes of Vanessa Paradis, Sharon Stone and Sophia Vergara. So he must be doing something right.
The film seems at once amusing and charming. It will hit UK cinemas on 23rd May.
