Zusammenfassung:For all the technical blunders, "My Hustler" possesses some narrative fascination for those with sufficiently strong stomachs and/or psyches. A young boy, hired for the weekend by a wealthy Fire Island homo through the "Dial-a-Hustler Service", is fought over by the aging deviate, a girl from next door, and another hustler well past his prime. What makes the film morbidly absorbing is not the tenuous storyline - which, in the best NY Underground tradition, is never resolved - but the detail with which gay life is documented ... The camera remains stationary for long stretches (one static take lasts a full 30 minutes), and what motion Warhol does employ consists of headache-inducing zooms and wobbly pans. The sound reproduction is so poor as not to deserve the epithet "amateur"; volume level suggests an aural rollercoaster, about a third of the dialog is muffled, and lip sync is off for most of the film.
