I just saw this movie last week, and it is actually very good! I agree the title/tagline comes off a bit clumsy, maybe this background helps: the original title in German (it’s an Austrian film) is “Hurensohn” which translates to “son of the bitch”, which the main character is frequently called when growing up in Vienna. He struggles to come to terms with his Mom’s job in the redlight district. Obviously, the pun of the Austrian title got lost in the English translation. But it’s a serious, well acted, and tragic film – if you’re still willing to give it a chance! The whore is played by Chulpan Khamatova.
So, how old was the whore when she had the son … 3? 4? That must have been awkward, both having the same home room … both trying to borrow the car from father/grandfather …..
Who plays the lead whore?
i heard it was your mom, actually.
That’s possibly the greatest film title / tagline combo ever. I’ve read it six times now, and I still laugh aloud every time.
“Hi, I’m a Mac……Hi, I’m Bai Ling.”
There is a review for this on http://www.mrqe.com/lookup?the+whore%27s+son
See, some people take it seriously lol
To be remade in a few years, this time starring Sean Preston Federline in the title role in a bit of typecasting.
