Viewing Notes
Amusing to watch this right after PHANTOM LOVE, which borrows a few themes from Magdalena Viraga. Had I watched this first I may not have been as taken by PHANTOM LOVE. I like this movie and premise along with the stilted dialogue. Gives an unsettling feeling to an already uncomfortable situation (prostitutes abused by their johns and pimps).
