Analysis of A Call Girl by Damjan Kozole
The film, A Call Girl, directed by Damjan Kozole captured the essence of growing up as a young adult trying to make the transition moving from a small town to a large city. Alexandra is a 23-year-old English major at a university in the city of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The first scene has Alexandra walking into a room with an older gentleman sitting on the bed. She has obviously been called there to provide sexual services to the man on the bed, but her client does not appear to be completely healthy after taking an excessive dosage of Viagra. Alexandra looks concerned when she realizes that the man is not in good shape, and when he proceeds to collapse onto the floor Alexandra is mindful enough to call downstairs to the hotel for help. After calling for help, she immediately leaves the hotel without anyone seeing her; however, now the whole city is aware that a call girl was with the man when he died and the police are looking to investigate her. As if her job wasn’t difficult enough before, now half the whole city is looking for a whore who goes by the name of “Slovenian girl”.
Other than being a part-time escort for men, Alexandra is a dedicated student and a loving daughter to her lonely father who lives back in their small village, away from the city, by himself. Her father shows a great deal of affection for his daughter and he notices that something is constantly bothering Alexandra. Whenever she comes to visit him their conversations are usually very quiet without much back-and-forth between the two. Alexandra doesn’t like to talk about what happens with her in Ljubljana other than matters involved with her school work. She likes her father to know that she is doing well and passing tests in school.
Although she tells her father that everything is going well
