It is an old story that a lot of uninhibited nudity takes the zing out of voyeurism. It is the hiding that gives nakedness its charm. At least on the stage.

Such is the case in Crazy Horse (2011)

There is so much nudity that it just becomes another costume.

But like any good behind the scenes story, Frederick Wiseman puts the zing back into the enterprise with a reveal of the painstaking effort that goes into their patented stage production. Long running, must see entertainment.

It is a bit long, the film, but worth the extra time to see the prep and then the show as it comes off.

There are no surprises here. It is all pretty much workmanship at its best only applied to naked ladies.

There are no men in the show. Alas.

I enjoyed it and would not want to watch it again. Once did the trick. A 3 out of Netflix5.
