Hot girls in tuxedos and their female admirers lounge across the screen in this instant lesbian classic from writer/director Laurie Charpentier, and the hottest of them all is handsome garçonne, Gigola, the girl everyone has an eye on.
It's 1960s Paris and the clubs and bars of Pigalle are filled with women from Paris high society dripping with wealth and only too keen to lavish it on the objects of their desire. Aloof and in control, gorgeous Gigola makes her living from these ladies of the night, taking no prisoners along the way. But her life begins to unravel when she comes face to face with the underbelly of this world, where everyone it seems is expendable.
Told in a style that flirts flawlessly with melodrama, and with pitch perfect art direction and performances, Gigola is firmly on the sexy side of lesbian chic.
