#24. Whore’s Glory
Director: Michael Glawoger

Buzz: Need cheering up? Then you’ll want to avoid Michael Glawogger’s unflinching camera eye. Best know for 2005’s Workingman’s Death, the Austrian docu filmmaker documents unapologetic ugliness in the human experience — but could there be more to the matter than this? The Venice Film Festival selected (Horizons section) is the third part in the globalization trilogy.
The Gist: Prostitution: three countries, three languages, three religions (Thailand, Bangladesh, and Mexico). Women as a commodity. In a nutshell TIFF’s Cameron Bailey says it paints an indelible portrait of people living beyond the limits of polite society but within the bounds of what’s human.
