Blue Nude - 1977 - 6/10
AKA - Nuda Prohibida

Sleazy, smutty tale of Italian “actor” trying to make it in New York.
He is optimistic, good-natured, hopeful.
“If Pacino, de Niro, even Stallone can make it, so can I!”
Rocco pounds the pavement for roles, hustles for money.
Dog-walker, tour guide, gigolo, male stripper (clients are not models, but foul mouthed grannies).
Eventually, he drifts into porn.
As painful as things go for him, colleagues spiral into the violent, sadistic videos.
Cheap looking, unpleasant, with fabulous street scenes of pre-sanitized New York.
