Student Services
A cash-strapped student becomes an escort exposing the stark realities of economic exploitation in this uncompromising gritty French drama.
Director: Emmanuelle Bercot
Overview
Laura (Déborah François) is struggling to make ends meet while studying, despite holding down a part-time job. Desperate for cash, she answers an Internet ad: Joe, 57, seeks female student for tender moments. But what should have been a one-off becomes a downward spiral as Laura grows gradually more reliant on her illicit second income, finding herself in a new bed every night.
From uncompromising writer-director Emmanuelle Bercot (Clement) and based on the notorious memoir of a former student prostitute, Student Services (Mes chères études) is as compelling as it is shocking.
