Product Description
Sizzling sex documentary Sex Life in LA consists of two feature-length exposés that turn a stark and honest eye on the sex industry in Los Angeles. It compares and contrasts the lives of three retired porn actors with three young, up-and-coming adult stars. Driven by a sense of adventure and narcissism, it incisively tracks the fortunes of big-name centrefolds, needy hustlers, enterprising rent boys, and a cabal of gay actors who live in an apartment fitted with web cams. Director Jochen Hick, who spent years infiltrating the highly secretive pornography industry in the Hollywood hills, pulls no punches and offers a unique insight into a world people do not normally see. Starring Rick Castro and Tony Ward (Hustler White), award-winning director and drag queen Chi Chi Larue and renowned porn stars Matt Bradshaw, Cole Tucker and Vin Nolan.

It would be hard to imagine this being much better done, really, as it provides an in-depth look at several lives in the first film, some of which are carried over into the second, but not all, and two new strands are introduced to replace the ones that are dropped. The overall effect, at over three hours, is that you have gained a very good insight, and you feel differently at different points, even about the same people. Jochen Hick has an admirable openness and is non-judgmental but equally does not shy away from letting us see the depressing side of the industry. In the end he is for the porn actors and hustlers he shows, but you feel the jury is still out on the value of porn in itself. The actors are quite varied in temperament but the space Hick gives them means they make a lasting impression. Kevin Kramer and Matt Bradshaw are shown with their mother and sister respectively, and it is interesting to see how these family members react - their fundamental support seems to provide them with a psychological ballast some of the others don't have. One of the guys who features quite a lot in the first film died of an overdose soon after it was finished, which is covered quite near the end of the second film, very movingly, with footage of him in slow-motion that has an almost Proustian effect in the context of such a long double film. There is also a performance artist who has quite a lot of interesting things to say, and a sad story of a man who was working as a hustler and going from motel to motel, or sleeping in his car. The film evokes a lot of sympathy for him, as for a young black guy who is very Christian, whose mother had died.... Read more ›

This may or may not be to your taste. It certainly opened my eyes but how true or not it is difficult to say.
There does come over a rather sad reflection of character within the gay scene.i guess we don't live in and ideal world and the cover was misleading.

Bad production of unrelated "conversations" with hustlers in Los Angeles. Why they are there, how they got there, what they do there. Best avoided
