The Streetwalker

A salesman becomes obsessed by an icy prostitute against the backdrop of a hellish Paris, in this arthouse erotica from Walerian Borowczyk (The Beast)

A grief-stricken trader loses himself in the arms of an ethereal prostitute in a headlong rush towards the end of the night... Featuring the best performance of Sylvia Kristel (aka Emmanuelle) as well as a stoic turn by Warhol favourite Joe Dallesandro, Borowczyk’s most atypical film rivals Taxi Driver in terms of rendering urban life as a seedy inferno.

An eclectic soundtrack features 10cc, Chopin, Elton John and Pink Floyd. Also known as La Marge/The Margin.
