“Vecchiali melds a candy-colored vision of the world’s oldest profession with a grim take on neoliberalism.”
—The New York Times 

“A weepie in the style of a 19th-century novel set on the sleazy backstreets of 1980s Paris.”
—Screen Slate

“Vecchiali’s highly stylized, compassionate, and unflinching examination of a day in the life of a Parisian sex worker.”
—Slant

A hidden gem worthy of discovery, the vibrant ROSA LA ROSE from Paul Vecchiali (THE STRANGLER) follows a young sex worker whose idyllic world fractures when a working man glimpses her true self. What unfolds is a subtle, vibrant, and compelling study of longing, identity, and class tension. Like a musical stripped of its score, it hums with a quiet emotional power. New 2K restoration.
