The House

Emma, a French novelist aged 27, decide to go to Berlin and join a brothel to uncover the prostitution world, the subject of her new book. Such as gonzo journalism, Emma become a prostitute and her experience, which was supposed to last a few weeks, will last two years. Was writing her book an excuse for Emma to live a shameful fantasy?
Like watching your mom have sex, there's a lot of nudity but even more cringe.
They should've called this Danseuse de Revue because it's a French 'Showgirl'.
The true story of a young bougie writer who becomes a prostitute with a heart of gold because she feels like it (good for her) and defends her choice tooth and nail until we knew she wouldn't.
She then claims she wrote the book for the women she worked with except it's more like 'the real prostitution was the friends I made all about me along the way'.
The acting was uneven, the conflict non-existent and the cliches were as rampant as sticky rags in a brothel.
What saddened me the most is that Annie Girardot is one of the most beautiful and most talented actresses of her generation and gawking at her frequent nude scenes in a waste of a film made me feel like a lecher.
