My Hustler

Screening on Film
Directed by Andy Warhol.
With Ed Hood, Paul America.
US, 1965, 16mm, black & white, 67 min.

A benchmark film for gay cinema, My Hustler is almost conventional by today’s standards, though still powerfully frank in its portrayal and in the deployment of the signature early Warhol style. The “story” concerns an aging homosexual who rents a butch blond hustler to bring his Fire Island home for the weekend, only to find him being wooed by the competition. Initially conceived for the soft-core porn market, My Hustler remains a fascinating document.
