A hospital nurse becomes an "international girl" — a prostitute who caters to foreigners with hard currency.
Our read: Intergirl (1989) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, steady, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, measured.
