IF YOU’RE AFRAID TO SAY IT… JUST SEE IT.
Betrayed by her husband, Liz (Theresa Russell) is trapped by poverty and struggling to support her baby. After taking cash to go on a date she begins her life on the street, but falls victim to a brutal assault. After becoming increasingly dependent on a pimp, she realizes she must find a way out, but her pimp has other ideas.
Ken Russell’s Whore is the confronting story of a jaded L.A. prostitute told through flashbacks of her past brutal marriage, inhumane abuse and her time on the streets.
Directed by Ken Russell and starring Theresa Russell, Benjamin Mouton, Elizabeth Morehead & Antonio Fargas. Screenplay by Ken Russell and Deborah Dalton, based on David Hines’ monologue, Bondage.
