Advantages: Excellent acting, directing, storyline...the list goes on! Disadvantages: none
This movie is an absolute classic. I have watched it numerous times, and every time I feel as entertained and emotionally moved as the last. The movie is extremely thought provoking, to the extent that you will most probably find yourself re-evaluating your life as a result of it!
The plot:
'I feel like I've been in a coma for the past twenty years. And I'm just now waking up...'

Krishnagopal Reddy is an American born Indian who insists on being called Kris. He is an all round American youth who does not consider himself in the least bit Indian and he gets quite a horrid shock when he starts college and finds his roommates are all Indian. Soon after starting college he meets and falls for Nina, an Indian student who is very much into Indian culture and is not impressed by the fact that Kris knows so little about his roots. He joins the Indian Students Association to impress her but it's not as easy as he thinks as he has to help out with putting on a big Indian show and for someone who knows practically nothing of Indian culture, this is no easy accomplishment.

"...Gere [gives] a seductively low-key performance....One of his best films..." -- Rating:B+ (Entertainment Weekly, pp.88-9, 18/10/1996)

DVD Description
Richard Gere is Julian Kay, a slick emotionally and spiritually deprived L.A. hustler in AMERICAN GIGOLO. While servicing an upscale clientele in the Hollywood area, he becomes involved with a rich senator's wife (Lauren Hutton), their relationship extending beyond Julian's normal encounters. Little does he know he is about to be framed for murder, forcing him to rely on alibis from Madame Anne (Nina Van Pallandt), a crooked pimp (Bill Duke), or the senator's wife herself. A stylishly sleazy look at moral decay and redemption, director Paul Schrader combines a European cinematic sensibility with his usual themes of moral drift and emotional alienation in this vivid portrait of early 1980s chic Hollywood decadence.
