Summary
Christian Zyp interviews Andrea Werhun (co-writer/co-producer) and Nicole Bazuin (director/producer) about their documentary MODERN WHORE. It's available on CRAVE in Canada and VOD platforms everywhere. Sean Baker (Anora) serves as an executive producer on the film. Andrea Werhun and Nicole Bazuin challenge toxic misconceptions about sex work and sex workers with great audacity and high style. An impassioned and insightful rebuttal to the assumptions, misconceptions, and faulty representations that surround sex work and sex workers, Modern Whore may also be the most audacious and engaging movie ever made about the oldest profession. Successfully expanding on their 2020 short film and book of the same name, director Nicole Bazuin and subject and co-writer Andrea Werhun take viewers on a very eventful journey through Werhun’s experiences as an escort and exotic dancer, a career she began when she was a university student in Toronto. As Werhun recounts with great flair and frankness in the film’s stylized, fourth-wall-breaking re-enactments, there were many lessons to be learned and challenges to be faced, including the lack of protection from toxic clients and her own internalized versions of the shame that society associates with female pleasure and the sex industry. Though Modern Whore doesn’t flinch from portraying the darker and more disturbing aspects of sex work, its greater aim is to validate and celebrate the people who perform it, presenting them as fully complex individuals. The film also ventures beyond the scope of Werhun’s career to include experiences and perspectives that are different from her own as a white cisgendered woman, resulting in a wider view of the sex worker community.
