1h 30m
Directed by John Turturro • 2013 • United States
Starring John Turturro, Woody Allen, Sharon Stone
A sex comedy of unusual warmth and sweetness, this smartly witty New York tale follows the unlikely escapades of a struggling New York bookseller (Woody Allen) who hits upon a new source of cash flow when he enlists his mild-mannered florist friend (director John Turturro) to become a professional gigolo catering to lonely and sexually curious women. Gamely performed by an ensemble cast that includes Sharon Stone, Vanessa Paradis, Liev Schreiber, and Sofia Vergara, FADING GIGOLO is a bighearted, naughty-and-nice look at the universal need for human connection.
