Crazy Horse

From the director of ballet doco La danse, a behind-the-scenes look at Crazy Horse, the legendary Parisian nude cabaret club founded in 1951.

"A major fixture on the tourist map, Crazy Horse aspires to present the best nude dancing show in the world, and Wiseman films the processes and personalities that shape it. His time there coincides with the tenure of well-known choreographer Philippe Decouflé, charged with revitalising the show. Filming rehearsals and back-stage discussions as well as the on-stage set pieces, Wiseman weaves together a number of threads... As Decouflé attempts to balance creativity with the interests of the shareholders, Wiseman captures the gruelling work schedule and exacting standards required of the dancers, many of them recruited from ballet conservatoires."
