CRAZY HORSE

Today we headed off to Violet Crown to see Frederick Wiseman's CRAZY HORSE.  Mr. Wiseman is a meticulous documentary filmmaker who humbles me with views of welfare offices, hospitals and ghetto NYC High Schools.  But he also loves the performing arts with views of BALLET in NYC and Paris and BOXING GYM.  Today he brought us the creative and beautiful Parisian erotic revue of a dance performance night club renowned for it's artistic and creative presentation of nude dancers.  Let me forewarn you, these women are beautiful, stunning and elegant.  They are creative dancers who have been selected with enormous thought and sensitivity. Austin filmmakers will observe how hard working, collaborative, and ingenuous all of the crew and directors are to create the ultimate performance.  The last solo dance sequence of a woman dancing  on ropes is breathtaking.  The film is long, and the editing could have firmed things up but this film is stunning, pure beauty for the beholder.

    I remember reading about this in the past year. It is surely a maybe, though based on one of your past reviews, saw "We need...about Kevin" and that was a disturbing find.
