Plot:Pigalle, the early sixties…...
Money and bourbon flows. Here, life occurs during the night, behind the closed shutters. With exentric prostitutes, spectacular transformists, Italian gangsters, women who love each others without taboo. And especially with Georgia, alias Gigola, a dandy flapper and refined who try to hide, with its authoritarian attitude and worked style, its sensitivity. Still haunted by the suicide of its first mistress, she licks one’s wounds by making crazy in love Cora, a young coach, or Odette, a wealthy middle-class woman.
While adapting his eponymous novel censured in 1972, like its continuation published in 1998, Père, impair et passe, Laure Charpentier revives a whole ignored side of the Parisian history between sapphic erotism and disruption of manners. Inspired by Audiard’s representation of the pretentious parisians’ attitude as well as by the distinguished sophistication of Colette’s writings and theatrical old-fashioned style, Gigola is the portrait of a free and brave woman who’s not afraid to take the responsibilities of her own choices.
