Whore (1991)
Directed by Ken Russell
Trapped in a dangerous loop of bad luck and cheap motels, and under constant threat from her volatile pimp, prostitute Liz guides the audience through a high-stakes night on the streets. Through fourth-wall-breaking confessionals and gritty flashbacks, she reveals how she—a desperate mother—ended up selling her body to survive.

What critics compared Whore to
What starts out as a modern, realistic version of Pretty Woman (1990), especially compared to something like Ken Russell’s ‘response’ to this narrative, 1991’s Whore, cascades into a manic take on the myth of Psyche and Eros.
