Irina Palm (Sam Garbarski, 2007)

Marianne Faithfull, rather wishfully playing a mere 50 year-old, is the woman re-monikered Irina Palm when she turns to a sort prostitution-lite to pay for her grandson's medical treatment. She becomes much in demand for apparently providing hand jobs of unmatched quality. This outline of a drama with serious aspirations might seem brutally reductionist, but it does closely match the profile of a porn farce, and would be much more satisfying fare if directed by Russ Meyer instead of trying to shove Faithfull's somnambulist mumbling of lifeless dialogue or the notion of a Serbian sex club owner with a heart of gold at us. As twaddle, it's fairly complete.

3/10
