Stockholm, aan het eind van de jaren ’70. Enkele dagen voor het einde van de verkiezingen ziet het er naar uit dat de Sociaal Democraten voor het eerste sinds decennia niet aan de macht zullen zijn. Erger nog voor de machthebbers is het feit dat detective John Sandberg verschillende ministers linkt aan een prostitutie-ring, geleid door Dagmar Glans. (Lumière Publishing)

Call Girl is slightly tense and disturbing while terrorizing its audience with a 1980s electronic soundtrack (which would fit
somewhere between an Italian horror B-movie and James Horner’s Commando). The film really gets going only in the last
fourth, until which time it is unnecessarily lengthy and the main character’s prostitution is shown in way too many
examples. However, the atmosphere, acting and climax are all very good. With a 20- or 30-minute shorter runtime it
would’ve been great. And I would also add more tension and sex.

I have to say I liked this film. Not by what it depicts, but by how it's depicted. The retro vibe is gorgeous, and it's polished off by how everyone is dressed and the occasionally otherworldly pace. It works perfectly. The guys here are truly disgusting, and some women no less, but even the victims here aren't real victims. That's also what the '70s looked like.
