Sasha Grey talks about The Girlfriend Experience

Envelope columnist Scott Feinberg interviewed Girlfriend Experience star Sasha Grey at the Edie and Lew Wasserman Cinematheque.

It is a good interview and as Jeffrey Wells says over on Hollywood Elsewhere, 21 year old "Grey comes off as shrewd, mature, intelligent and -- sorry -- faintly tragic. Because she works in an icky industry filled with untalented and under-educated people, and because no porn star has ever walked away from it intact."

The Girlfriend Experience is Steven Soderbergh's latest film and has been getting some excellent reviews.

The Girlfriend Experience - Trailer for Steven Soderbergh's latest film starring Sasha Grey

Set in the weeks leading up to the 2008 presidential election, The Girlfriend Experience is five days in the life of Chelsea (adult film star Sasha Grey in her mainstream film debut), an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers more than sex to her clients, but companionship and conversation – “the girlfriend experience.” Chelsea thinks she has her life totally under control—she feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend (Chris Santos) who accepts her lifestyle. But when you’re in the business of meeting people, you never know who you’re going to meet…

Sasha Grey last graced Life for Film's pages in the PG Porn short, Roadside Ass-istance, but here she has gone all serious and mainstream.

The Girlfriend Experience looks like it could be one of those extremely interesting yet ultimately hollow films that come along every now and again. Have a look at the trailer below and let me know whether you agree with me.
