Crazy Horse

The Rehersals and Performances at a French Burlesque

CRAZY HORSE follows the rehearsals and performances of the Crazy Horse Paris for a new show, DESIRS, staged by Philippe Decoufle, a celebrated French choreographer, as well as the backstage preparations of the dancers (make-up and costume fittings) and the various issues involved in the planning of the show and the administration of the cabaret. The show DESIRS is an artistic, modern, humorous and colorful spectacle that is the pinnacle of 'nude chic'.

Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"A work of art, and as such, a reminder of what documentary can be." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
