Escort Boys: The Hearts and Asses of Men (review)
A series of guys, rare and successful, who overflow with sensuality and sincerity. Watch on Prime Video.
The Camargue, its bulls, its marshes, its honey… and its gigolos! Escort Boys, it is the story of four boys with no future wasting away under the burning sun of the south of France. Four thirty-somethings with different physiques and backgrounds, who decide to sell their bodies to local women. A unique Escort service in the region, which will quickly be a hit…
After The golden cage (nominated for the César for best first film) and Miss (2020), Ruben Alves goes on television and signs the new French creation of Prime Video. A series of guys, like few others. A tender and spicy social chronicle, which explores the hearts of today’s men, without hiding behind its little finger.
Alves carries out an edifying autopsy of modern masculinity, its anxieties and its questions, through the prism of sexuality. A series with obvious sincerity, which is never judgmental or life lessons, but simply attempts to paint the portrait of a generation of guys who are looking for their place.
Around Guillaume Labbénew hunk of the French rom’com’ passed by Heart Plan And I promise you, the band diffuses an infectious energy, with the contribution of a few choice guests, who are not there just to embellish the decor. The appearances of Carole Bouquet, Rossy de Palma, Zahia Or Pascale Arbillot add a little extra dose of spice to each episode.
Because Escort Boys, it’s also a series that sends pili-pili! The heat rises under the Camargue sun. Politically incorrect to the core (the little sister is downright the pimp of the gang), unabashedly abandoning any idea of a moral compass – even if it also demystifies prostitution in the process – the little friendly and family chronicle is a work of culture and raw, with heightened sensuality. We expected no less from a series called Escort Boys. She takes full responsibility and sometimes goes far in certain very boys, boys, boys ! A series full of emotion, above and below the belt.
Escort Boys, season 1 in 6 episodes, to watch since December 22, 2023 on Prime Video.
