Description: Utopia is a 186 moment movie considered by critics as a “hard ghetto film” and it is the story of a pimp and his five girls. The film had been entered into the 33rd Berlin International Film Festival.
In a slow-moving sequence of events, a brutal misogynist whom runs a bordello with an iron hand has a couple of problems of his own: mind aches of unknown origins, and some threatening colleagues. His discipline of one of the older women for not bringing in many customers sets down a countermove that may stop his reign of horror — but is no risk to the exploitative business of prostitution itself.
Utopia is a treatise on enjoy and desire tainted by harsh truth of capitalism, in which submission to the laws of lust-as-commerce is played out by 5 prostitutes and their pander, who pits them against one another so that they are incapable of standing up to him jointly.
