Programmer's Pick

Rent-a-Girl is a walk on the wild side where Manhattan's glamour turns grimy in the hands of William Rose. Fetish, profit, and predation all share a dingy apartment, as this sleazy slice of sexploitation peels back the lurid underbelly of the city that never sleeps.

Overview

Rent-a-Girl thrusts viewers into the underbelly of 1960s New York, where a naive young woman searching for excitement stumbles onto an unsettling side of city life. Her new neighbors, living in her apartment building, lure her into the world of nude modeling under the guise of glamour. However, this venture is just a front for a far more sordid operation: a brother and sister team orchestrate a 'girl renting' business catering to eccentric, wealthy clients with a taste for bondage, discipline, and bizarre fetishes. The film navigates seedy modeling agencies, peculiar parties, and the commodification of innocence in a low-budget, unvarnished exploitation drama.
