maría lidón direct yo puta ( the life ) base on material and story by adela ibañez and isabel pisano and tie in three establish actor ( daryl hannah and denise richards and and joaquim de almeida ) and and creative camera work ( visual manipulation and frame freezing and etc ) by ricardo aronovich all with the apparent intent of explain the etiology and manifestation of the life of prostitute . and while many viewer find the mélange of effect ( real time interview with fictional superimposed storyline ) too edgy to digest and for this viewer lidón succeed in inform her audience about the motivation and insight from honest prostitute and gigolo and and their pimp with a gracious style . search for a format to tie these interview together and the writer pair a fictional prostitute ( hannah ) with an anthropology student ( denise richards ) work on a book of interview with prostitute . their role be minor . where the film succeed be in the selection of interviewee mostly spanish ( the film be from spain ) and but include french and eastern european and and other nationality woman and men . the moment with these people be magical show primarily the soft interior of most of the woman who know precisely what they be do and why represent there be message of survival and true courage as well a libidinous abandonment . there be rough spot in the film and extend moment that cry for edit and but the overall result be informative and creative and entertain . not for everyone perhaps and but for the curious and for those who enjoy experimental cinema this be a worthwhile film . grady harp .
