Gentlemen, this is it. A fascinating contribution to world culture presented in film documentary by the great Mr. Wiseman. Fantastic t and a displayed by talented artists whose dedication cannot be denied. A fast education on how a modern burlesque venue operates and maintains the enviable status of "best in Paris and possibly the world" (my words). As usual Mr. Wiseman allows his subject to speak for itself. Glimpses of the city also provided. Really interesting to see how the tableaux are created. To see these wonderful stage effects without having to travel all the way over there is a treat. Highly erotic and charming. If you want your children to think that erotic entertainment is bad trash or if you cherish a belief that this sort of thing cannot be classy, forget it. Otherwise, yes.

This movie was played in Greece thanks to the 13nth Festival of French-speaking Film. It is a documentary about the world famous Paris cabaret "Crazy Horse" where a show featuring very scantily dressed girls takes place. It has been made by an eminent documentary maker and it is a combination of the live show and rehearsals with the everyday day aspects of life of the contributors to the show as well as the discussions between the director, the artistic director, the costumes expert and a representative of the shareholders. It also shows an audition for new girls who want to enter the show.

It has an aura of realism since there is no effort to distance the viewer from what is presented but everything is realistically portrayed. This applies mainly to the sequences where we watch the inside workings of the show creating and show managing process, where the various participants try to make their view and opinions prevail. In the rehearsals we learn about the effort and pain needed to achieve the glamorous spectacle. The spectacle itself is a very artistic and stylish form of soft pornography.

If you have any affinity with dance and are not bored with documentaries and if you are not much of a prude this is a movie to watch.

This is a great documentary about an awesome club in Paris called "Crazy Horse," The film chronicles the dazzling dances, costumes, and the total preparation of the big show, from selection of numbers, clothes, promotion, and dancers. We get a glimpse inside the crazy horse at the behind the scene workers, technicians, managers, and yes we even get to see some of the patrons. This club has a reputation in Paris for having some of the hottest girls and hottest dances. The film received a standing ovation at its conclusion. Unfortunately the film director could not be present for a Q/A session. Worth seeing just for the line of mad hot girls naked throughout the film. ************
