Men for Sale

2008

Men for Sale (French: Hommes à louer, literally "men for rent") is a 2008 documentary film by Canadian director Rodrigue Jean, about male prostitutes working in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The film was shot over a one-year period in Montreal's Gay Village.[1]

The interviews for Hommes à louer are in French language. The English version Men for Sale has subtitles in English.

Canadian National Film Board calls the documentary "an unflinching portrait with neither voyeurism nor false sympathy acknowledging those society prefers to ignore".[2]

The documentary follows the life of 11 male prostitutes over the course of a year, recounting their struggles to survive alcohol and drug-related addictions, abuse and stigmatization – and, their troubled pasts.[1][3]

Trapped in a vicious circle of prostitution and drugs, they pursue their lives, realizing their prospects for the future are dim.

In 2009, the documentary was an official selection for:
