Marianne Faithfull As The Wanking Widow In Irina Palm!

Out this week on DVD is: Irina Palm (http://www.strandreleasing.com/). Marianne Faithfull is quite wonderful in this surprising sentimental story of a grandmother named Maggie, desperate to raise money for her sick grandson who ends up taking a job in a London sex club jerking off strangers through a hole in the wall. She's so good at it that in no time there are lines around the block for the services of "Irina Palm," or as she calls herself: “the wanking widow”. Maggie befriends a single mother fellow sex worker named Luisa (Dorka Gryllus) and the club owner Miki (Miki Manojlovic) even comes to care for her. Directed by Sam Garbarski, Marianne Faithfull is utterly compelling and delightful in this bizarrely charming film.
