American Gigolò (1980) in streaming su altadefinizione Julian Kay, di professione gigolò, diventa l'amante di Michelle, moglie del senatore Straton. L'agente per il quale lavora, Leon Jaimes, lo mette in contatto con i Rehiman, una coppia di coniugi perversi. Quando la signora Rehiman viene assassinata, Straton fa ricadere i sospetti su Julian. Riuscirà a cavarsela grazie all'intervento di Michelle.
Il regista Paul Schrader, celebre sceneggiatore di "Taxi Driver", racconta dei "mercanti del tempio" che popolano i quartieri alti. La prostituzione è una metafora, il potere del denaro è assoluto, la perdizione inarrestabile. Tuttavia la forza della grazia e dell'amore illuminano i sentieri della redenzione. Mistico.
