Greek Pete
Acclaimed filmmaker Andrew Haigh (Weekend, 45 Years) made his feature debut with this bold, sexually explicit drama-documentary about London rent boys.
Director: Andrew Haigh
Overview
Acclaimed filmmaker Andrew Haigh (Weekend, 45 Years) made his feature debut with this daring semi-improvised drama about a group of London rent boys - led by eponymous charmer Pete. Sometimes explicit, sometimes awkward, this is no idealised view of prostitution. Haigh achieves a remarkable degree of trust with his collaborators, offering a unique snapshot of the gay scene’s less familiar corners.
Contains strong real sex, nudity, sex references and drug use
