Description:
2 hrs 14 min – Unrated (contains female nudity) – In French with English subtitles. Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman explores one of Paris’s most mythic and colorful places dedicated to beautiful women dancing nearly naked, the Crazy Horse - a legendary cabaret club, founded in 1951 by Alain Bernardin. Over the years it has become the Parisian nightlife 'must' for visitors, ranking alongside the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Wiseman's impeccable eye finds the Crazy Horse a uniquely French showcase, with an emphasis on elegance, perfectionism and a grueling schedule. The film shows us the rehearsals for and the unveiling of the brand new show - Désir - created by the renowned French choreographer Phillippe Decoufle. “A-. Completing his wonderful French cultural trilogy that includes portraits of the Comédie-Francaise and the Paris Opera Ballet, indefatigable documentarian Frederick Wiseman freely, unobtrusively prowls the joint to create a movie that respects the serious work involved in simulating the sensations of pleasure.”-Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly.
