CLOSING OUT THE RETROSPECTIVE IS BRUCE LABRUCE AND RICK CASTRO’S BLACK COMEDY HUSTLER WHITE (1996)
Bruce LaBruce and Rick Castro turn Los Angeles’ world of gay hustlers and pornography into a very queer very sexual reimagining of SUNSET BOULEVARD. An anthropologist arrives in L.A. to study gay prostitution and falls for one of the men he’s meant to observe - with consequences he never anticipated.
Bruce LaBruce teams up with photographer Rick Castro in a wild reimagining of SUNSET BOULEVARD set on the hot hustling scene of ’90s Santa Monica Boulevard. Lovelorn anthropologist Jürgen Anger (LaBruce) heads to LA to research hustling as a social phenomenon but after spotting angel-faced hustler Montgomery Ward (supermodel Tony Ward) he falls hopelessly in love. Featuring cameos by Ron Athey and Vaginal Davis HUSTLER WHITE is a roller-coaster ride of sex money depravity and unexpected romance. Starring Tony Ward, Ron Athey, Glen Meadmore, Vaginal Davis, Kevin Kramer, Paul Bateman, Kevin P. Scott, Ivar Johnson, Alex Austin, Graham David Smith, (RIP), Michael Glass, (RIP), Ryan Block, Darryl Carlton, Tony Powers and a cameo by Rick Castro.
