House Of Pleasures at Gene Siskel Film Center
Brothels were way classier in the early 1900s than today’s Bunny Ranch aesthetic—or at least they appear to be in Bertrand Bonello’s House Of Pleasures. All the pro-fornicators wore corsets, had complex hairstyles, and would lounge about on cool velvet chaise lounges. Now, ladies of the night cohort with senators by night and record flimsy pop tunes by day, all of which is totally boring. Good thing Bonello knows where it’s at, showing off a time where even the low-down dirty trade of hourly sex slaving was chic. Sure, his film occasionally features violent acts, but that’s been associated with prostitution since day one. His film doesn’t entirely dress up the time period, instead incorporating the hardships that go along with the degradation.
