Notes
I don't often think about hustling as a profession· Here we see a fraternity of poor young Roma "brothers" who have come to Vienna looking for work· They discover the sex trade, especially a niche of servicing gay men· They all appear to be straight-identifying men, although in some cases their attachments are very personal and intimate· Many are married and have wives and children back in Bulgaria· They do not seem to disdain their customers for being gay, just old. They dream of a better place; they want cars, a house, a happy home life· The film appears to be a honest documentary· Powerful and melancholy·
BTW-- The dvd cover art is an invention of the publicist· The two boys riding a motorcycle has no significant place in the film· I guess all "bad-boys" ride motorcycles? I would not call these boy-men "bad-boys·" But they are survivalists.
