This film works for me on a number of levels, being that it's a brilliant character study in the tradition of Scorsese and Cassavetes. Upon hearing about her being cast I had to look her up and was shocked to find out that not only did she make hardcore porn or that she is so young but she's actually an intelligent film buff. Grey is so good in this film you wouldn't believe that this is her first film and she's so beautiful you definitely wouldn't believe that she's worked on hundreds of pornos ranging hardcore to slightly soft core.

Sasha Grey is somewhat of an exception in the sense that she did work on a couple of movies before this but this is her fist real film. What's incredible about this film is it was made on a shoestring budget in two weeks and like Bubble the cast is made up of non-actors. Throughout the film numerous references are made to the 2008 election and the economy. The Girlfriend Experience works even better the Che because it's more in line with his roots as a filmmaker, a kind of homage to Godard an a number of the great new wave filmmakers from the 70's American and French, think Pakula, Scorsese, Altman.The Girlfriend Experience is about a high class escort living in New York an dealing with a boyfriend, clients, her business and politics. Che could be his best film but of course it's going to be good, when you have an amazing story, cast and crew working on it. In between the Oceans films he did some of his best work Solaris, K Street, Bubble and the decent Good German see Zentropa for an example on why he didn't completely succeed with this film. Sadly he had to make some studio films and made the 3 conventional, sometimes bad Oceans films.

Traffic is really good but not as good as the totally underrated Full Frontal.
