American Gigolo at 40: Material Man - 40th Anniversary Video | Movie Birthdays

American Gigolo 40th Anniversary Video Essay

This video looks back at Paul Schrader’s “American Gigolo” starring Richard Gere in a definitive influential 80s classic which explores sex, materialism and loneliness through the vehicle of a Los Angeles Male Escort. Schrader has written some of the greatest films ever made including “Taxi Driver” and “Raging Bull”, as a writer and director has created thought provoking work that is mature, intelligent and impactful. Schrader’s voice as storyteller is so strong that even when his scripts are directed by such visionaries as Scorsese, Spielberg and DePalma his personal themes and preoccupations burn through leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.
