Fading Gigolo Movie Download

Who wants a woody?
Fading Gigolo looks like a Woody Allen film, he does appear in this.

However it is directed, written and stars John Turturro who plays Fioravante who works part time in a rare bookshop owned by Murray Schwartz (Woody Allen.) The bookstore is in financial trouble and will soon close down.

Murray tells Fioravante that his dermatologist Dr Parker (Sharon Stone) wants a threesome with her girlfriend Selima (Sofía Vergara) and she is wiling to pay good money.

Fioravante who is short of money agrees and Murray becomes his pimp. Later Murray coaxes a widow of a rabbi to see Fioravante. Avigal (Vanessa Paradis) does have a tender friendship with him but a local security watch guard Dovi (Liev Schreiber) becomes jealous has he is infatuated by Avigal.

Turturro is not someone who you would describe as being conventionally handsome. As an actor he tends to be intense but here he is rather low key. It also smacks of a vanity project with him being a romantic gigolo. I did not buy it and this is someone who has watched decades of Woody Allen films romancing beautiful women.

The main problem is that the script is flimsy and incoherent. It is unsure whether it wants to be a crude sex comedy or a charming comedy drama but it comes across as a little dull.

Wisely he leaves the comedy to Allen who is the best thing in this.Read More
