The porn actress Sasha Grey gives a mesmerising, glacial performance as the high-class call girl Chelsea in Steven Soderbergh’s largely improvised, wholly experimental collage The Girlfriend Experience. What’s fascinating is that the film gives us a glimpse of the recent financial meltdown through the eyes of a luxury commodity. Chelsea listens while her banker clients whimper about their shrivelling investment portfolios, then confers with her accountant about a new business plan. It’s staggeringly unsexy but strangely compelling.
