And, as the saying goes.... "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?" *Be Warned!* - Whores' Glory is an extremely stark and vivid "human-nature" documentary that (due to its sad, depressing, and startlingly candid subject matter) is certainly not going to appeal to everyone. Filmed exclusively in Thailand, Bangladesh, and Mexico - If you've ever been curious to know what a whore's life might be like, then here's a professionally presented production that'll certainly open your eyes to all of the ins & outs (pardon the pun) of such a down'n'dirty business as that of the prostitution trade. Competently directed by German film-maker, Michael Glawogger - My one big beef about Whores' Glory has to do with Glawogger's choice not to document the ways and means of whores both in a European setting, as well as a glimpse at all of the slutty action in America, too. I personally think that that would have given the viewer a much more rounded perspective on the "world's-oldest-profession" as it exists today. *Special note* - While visiting Liberia, film-maker, Michael Glawogger died in 2014 (at the age of 54) from malaria.

Glawogger passes no judgment upon the prostitutes whose business his documentary describes, but neither does he pass any judgment upon the society that drives so many unfortunates to take up this line of work. The all-seeing unseeing eye of his camera observes these lives as though they take place in a fishbowl, isolated and insulated from us and incapable of having much of an impact on us by identifying with the humanity of its subjects. Indeed their humanity and the inward struggles and conflicts they must suffer are made invisible under Glawogger’s annealing lens. As soon as a suggestion of human conflict begins to congeal, Glawogger switches to another subject, another glossy frame, and the tension is lost. A year or more after watching it, only two women’s stories stand out in memory. One is a mother of several children in Faridpur, Bangladesh preparing to begin her day’s work on behalf of her family and a younger handsome boyfriend whom she supports and says she loves – flipframe, goodbye. Another is a sex-worker in Reynosa, Mexico who is the only prostitute who seemed to have gotten what she wanted from the job. She says that she is horny most of the time, that she “still likes cock, and I cum doing it,” – flipframe, goodbye.
This film is documentary film making at its best. I don't think it's possible to overrate this film. Just setting aside the content/narrative (which is intense, complex, beautifully and patiently told), the sheer beauty of the lighting will knock your socks off. I don't know how this film COULD have been made, let alone HOW it was made. This film also heavily blurs the line between candid moments and staged moments, the real and the fictitious, which is consistent with the content behind and within sex as a commodity, and in my view, an essential element in documentary film making. Just phenomenal.
From the trailer, this film looked like it had potential to be poignant and well-produced, but the storylines did not go anywhere. It ended up feeling exploitative of these women, just like the prostitution industry itself. This film does nothing for sex workers, and gives very little new perspective on the industry. I was disappointed.
From the first time I watched this I knew it was one to purchase. Thanx Amazon for carrying this title!!
A well done documentary about prostitution in 3 different countries.Not for children.

Heartbreaking
I don't really now how to review this one - it's amazingly shot and you gain so much insight into the reality of what prostitution is really like for most. It is nothing like Pretty Woman. However, Whore's Glory is not an easy thing to watch. It is so deeply tragic, and whatever your views on prostitution are, you will not be able to deny how sad it it. I converted the amount the women sell their bodies for in the film, if anyone's interested: 1,800 Thai Baht is £38.50 400 Mexican peso is £20 200 Bangladesh taka is about £1.60. Some of the women in the film put their price down to 50 taka, which is about £0.40p. For me, that really says it all. I am giving it four stars because of the sadness of it. It will deeply affect you and it is not particularly pleasant Saturday night viewing. I do not think that the fact that it's sad is a bad thing at all but if you do, then probably watch something else. An incredible piece of film.

Molto bello ma solo sottotitoli in tedesco
Questo documentario è molto ben fatto e interessante, come tutti quelli di Michael Glawogger. Lo avevo visto in televisione in italiano e pensavo che finalmente fosse uscito anche il BD in italiano, cosi lo ho comprato. Ma il BD è sottotitolato solo in tedesco, il che ne impedisce la fruizione a coloro che non sono abbastanza svelti con il tedesco da poter leggere i sottotitoli. Per questo motivo lo ho restituito, ma lascio 5 stelle perché il documentario è fatto molto bene e le merita. Il giorno che sarà distribuito coi sottotitoli in italiano lo comprerò certamente.

Bildgewaltig und berührend
Mit sehr gekonnten und schönen Bildern bringt Michael Glawogger eine traurige und bedrückende Geschichte in europäische Wohnzimmer. Dabei enthält er sich jeglichen Kommentars und auch einer Wertung. Gerade dadurch bezieht der Film auch ganz klar Stellung. Er lässt nur die zu Wort kommen, die in dieser Welt leben. "Whores`Glory" ist ein Triptychon zur Prostitution. In drei Ländern ( Thailand, Bangladesch und Mexiko) zeigt der Film Frauen die durch Prostitution körperlich überleben. Dabei zeigt "Whores`Glory" die dunkelsten und trostlosesten Ecken dieser Länder in sehr schönen Bildern. In Bangkok gibt es das Fish Tank wo, hinter einer großen Glaswand, Frauen warten bis ihre Nummer durch ein Mikrofon aufgerufen wird. In Bangladesch gibt es einen eigenen Stadtteil für Prostituierte in den die Frauen entweder hineingeboren oder verkauft werden. In Mexiko leben diese Frauen in der Zona de Tolerancia, wo es neben Prostitution und Drogen den heiligen Tod (Santa Muerte) gibt. Mich haben die Bilder und der Soundtrack sehr schnell in ihren Bann gezogen. Jedes Land hat eine weibliche Stimme bekommen. Die Bilder in Thailand begleiten "CocoRosie", Bangladesch "Maike Rosa Vogel" und Mexiko "PJ Harvey". Die Scoremusik stammt aus der Feder von Mitgliedern der Band "Element of Crime". Leider gibt es keinen kompletten Soundtrack. Es gibt aber vier Lieder von Maike Rosa Vogel als Download. Dabei ist auch das Lied "Where we meet" ein Duett von M R Vogel und Konstantin Gropper ("Get Well Soon"). Der Text ist von Glawogger und Vogel. Soundtrack und Film gelingt es auf magische Weise die Schönheit im Schrecklichen einzufangen und in unser Wohnzimmer zu hauchen. Das es dem Film gelingt mit Musik und Bildern die Hoffnungslosigkeit zu mildern hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Michael Glawogger starb am 22.April 2014, bei Dreharbeiten für ein neues Projekt, in Liberia. Seine Produktionsfirma Lotus Film und das Management der Liedermacherin Maike Rosa Vogel gaben "Where We Meet" zum unbeschränkten Download frei. Das Musikvideo mit Bildern aus dem Film ist, glaube ich, eine gute Vorschau auf "Whores`Glory". Die Filme "Megacities", "Workingman’s Death" und "Whores’ Glory" bilden eine Film-Trilogie über den Zustand der Welt um die Wende vom 20. zum 21. Jahrhundert. Mir haben die Atmosphäre, die Bilder, die Musik und auch der Inhalt, von "Whores’ Glory", so gut gefallen, dass ich fünf Sterne für zu wenig halte.

Pädagogisch wertvoll ;-)
Ich finde die Doku sehr interessant, kommt teilweise wie ein Film rüber da nur die Protagonisten zu Wort kommen, wertungsfrei, teilweise traurig. Man bekommt einen guten Einblick in das Rotlichtmileeu aus der Perspektive der Prostituierten Freier und teils Zuhälter von drei Kulturen und Religionen . Eine Ü18 Szene. Den Soundtrack fand ich richtig gut. Teilweise schöne Bilder. Den Film kann man sich auch paar mal anschauen wird nicht langweilig.

Eine wunderschön schockierende Doku
Niemals urteilabgebend, verachtend oder beschönend: "Whores' Glory" gibt einen bisher völlig neuen und tiefen Einblick in das Leben von Prostituierten aus drei verschiedenen Ländern und liefert dem Zuseher Bilder, die man so schnell nicht wieder los wird. Die Filmmusik ist mehr als treffend und ergänzt das Filmmaterial optimal. Obwohl während das gesamten Films immer Untertitel mitgelesen werden müssen, ist Michael Glawoggers Dokumentation ein Meisterwerk, das man nicht verpasst haben sollte.

WHORES' GLORY, the third film in Michael Glawogger's globalization trilogy (following MEGACITIES and WORKINGMAN'S DEATH), is an explicit and unflinching expose of global prostitution. In Bangkok, Thailand, women punch a clock and wait for clients in a brightly lit glass box; in the red-light district of Faridpur, Bangladesh, a madam haggles over the price of a teenage girl; and in the border town of Reynosa, Mexico, crack-addicted women pray to a deity named Lady Death. Winner of the Orizzonti Special Jury Prize at the 2011 Venice Film Festival, Glawogger's latest larger-than-life documentary is an audacious, non-judgmental study of sexuality, politics, human behavior and the effects of capital and religion on both women and men from starkly different cultures.
A bracing, at times horrifyingly intimate documentary. --Time Out London

The film is really about the funhouse world of modern-day capitalism, where every bit of human interaction can seem like a transaction.
The third film in Michael Glawogger’s “globalization trilogy,” Whores’ Glory picks up where 2005’s Workingman’s Death left off, delving into capsular case studies as part of a larger exploration of the modern nature of work. Here the Austrian director’s focus is the world’s oldest profession, a vocation which provides the opportunity for dual insight into both the traditional nature of labor and the insidious effects of self-commodification. The unnamed prostitutes Glawogger follows, whether installed in a fancy Bangkok bubble or a dilapidated Mexican motel, perform roughly the same task, but the way their environs inform their work speaks volumes about both the varying of global economies and how different cultures deal with sex.
In Bangkok, where the women stop at Buddhist shrines on their morning commute, paid sex seems entirely integrated into the culture, which results in sumptuously decorated clubs accepting credit card payments. In Bangladesh it’s a family business, with a loud, labyrinthine brothel staffed by a wide net of relatives. In Mexico, a country with more than its share of Catholic guilt, its pushed all the way to the fringes; Glawogger plants his crew in La Zona, a nightmare wasteland somewhere in Reynosa, where lewd gangs of men troll the muddy streets in SUVs. These three scenarios come together to form a unified statement, one that’s less an advocacy of regulated prostitution than a reminder that sex is an essential element of life, and thus an indispensable factor in any economic market. It’s a stance that unites prostitution with the raw materials at the core of Workingman’s Death , a service so in demand that someone will always be willing to take the dirty job of providing it to others.
Like much of Glawogger’s previous work, Whores’ Glory is lensed by the talented Wolfgang Thaler, who amps up the surrealism and horror of these scenes with a pronounced stylistic bent, drawing out colors and deepening shadows. Nothing here really beats the stunningly shot opening scene, where sex workers cavort in a glass box suspended over a busy street, hassling passersby with laser pointers, circumstances that highlight the film’s focus on dual-sided opportunism. This segues into the film’s best segment, a surreal incursion into a Bangkok club, the Fishbowl, where the women spend their days relaxing in a glass room, wearing blue or red buttons to indicate their prices, hoping to be chosen by eager johns. Interviews with customers suggest that the transaction isn’t as clear-cut as it seems (“We are the commodity,” one man states, a reminder that the value of any resource depends on both supply and demand).
The film takes up this question of commodities as its primary concern, and the events that result can be as perfectly aligned with its themes as any fictional rendering. The penultimate scene of the first segment, which finds three of the women in a liaison with three male gigolos at a different bar, sharing stories and shop talk, seems almost too perfect to be true. Neither group of prostitutes wants to give away their services for free; both sets want a break from the stress of being selec
