Overview

Wiseman highlights the immense precision, discipline, and artistic effort required by dancers and staff to maintain the legendary cabaret's distinct aesthetic.

The idea is to be erotic, seductive, but often, through Wiseman's unforgiving lens, the effect is more anatomical, aloof, amusing.

If there's one thing that's both surprising and predictable about "Crazy Horse" it's how thoroughly unsexy the film is.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Wiseman is a still-prolific luminary of what has been dubbed "direct cinema," a documentary style in which the director intrudes as little as possible and conducts no on-camera interviews.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

If nothing else, you'll surely relish the extravagant rhetoric used by Ali Mahdavi, the club's artistic director, to describe what is basically a tasteful nudie revue.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
