Whore (1991 film)
Whore, also known as, If You're Afraid to Say It...Just See It is a 1991 film by controversial British director and screenwriter Ken Russell, starring actress Theresa Russell.
Lacking large studio support, the film was produced by Trimark Pictures and distributed in North America by Lion's Gate Films, two companies largely associated with small, independent pictures. The film's small shooting budget is reflected in the choppy editing and production value. Presumably to save on crew expenses, Russell is listed as camera operator in production credits (under the name Alf).
Although told from the first-person perspective of a prostitute, the script, by Russell, plays more like a dark comedy. The film was in limited distribution in U.S. movie houses, did not achieve critical acclaim, and quickly fell into pay-per-video and VHS release.
