CGiii Comment

It takes the form of a documentary - which doesn't exactly make it more appealing.

It's an already tired exploration into the lives of dirty, little, money-grabbing, grubby rent boys.

Nothing new is shown, mentioned nor discussed - humdrum to the point of death by monotony.

A rent boy in China is the same as a rent boy in any other part of the world - different language, same part of the body.

Been done to death - only better.

The(ir) Blurb...

A docudrama about male sex workers in Beijing, descending on parks, nightclubs and other public spaces to interview both real-life "rent boys" and actors posing as prostitutes. Their candid confessions provide a peek into Beijing's street hustler culture, touching on common themes like gay rights, class disparities and the pursuit of real romance.
