[Answering Girlfriend - Drama]

The story focuses on the call girls whose accompaniment fee is as high as 2000 US dollars per hour, and Sasha Grey, the actress playing the heroine, is also an adult movie star in real life. This is Soderbergh's first film focusing on sexual relationships since his celebrated work "Sex, Lies and Videotape."

The English name of "Call Girl", "The Girlfriend Experience", is a synonym for a social phenomenon. It refers to rich men paying high fees to hire sex workers to provide them with sexual services while asking them to play the role of their girlfriends. It is said that, in order to make the script more realistic, Soderbergh and the screenwriting team interviewed many high-end call girls engaged in this kind of work, most of whom earn millions of US dollars a year. The film was scripted by Brian Koppelman and David Levien who had cooperated in writing the script for "Ocean's Thirteen". The story for the new film was also conceived together with Soderbergh at that time.

Sasha Grey, who is now 20 years old, entered the industry right after she turned 18, and has taken quite a few sexy pictures. In January last year, Sasha Grey also won the Best Actress Award at the 2008 Adult Oscars. Among her favorite filmmakers are Jean-Luc Godard, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Catherine Breillat. "Call Girl" is Sasha Grey's third formal feature film. Prior to this, she made brief appearances in the independent film "Quit" and a Canadian horror film "Smash Cut".
