Review

The octogenarian nonfiction filmmaking luminary follows up his critically acclaimed Boxing Gym with this engrossing and mesmerizing look at Paris’s famous Le Crazy Horse Saloon cabaret.

Keep your sanity: Crazy Horse has plenty of perky bare breasts; swaying bottoms; and eye-popping, sensual, and surprisingly artistic avant-garde dance sequences. But it’s a Wiseman film, after all, and the glacial pace can be off-putting. Adjust to the director’s deliberate rhythms and signature hands-off approach, and you’ll be rewarded.
