Gritty, disappointing drama about Pierre (Daniel Auteuil), a middle-aged impoverished French writer in London who becomes a male escort. Complications occur when he gets hooked on the world of drugs and high class sex but falls for a golden-hearted streetwalker who has a psychotic ex and one of his regulars falls for him, but she's married. Partly written by Auteuil and Hanif Kureshi, it's a nightmare vision that could happen to anyone.
