"Even Wiseman, cerebral, perceptive, and a maestro in the editing room, can't resist urging us, with images if not with words, "Just look at them!" And so we do."

Desde a década de 50, o Crazy Horse tem-se vindo a converter num lugar essencial da noite parisiense, sendo considerado tão icónico como a Torre Eiffel ou o Louvre. Filmado ao longo de dez semanas, sob o olhar imaculado de Frederick Wiseman, o documentário permite um acesso total ao perfeccionismo, à exigência e à elegância, que se escondem por detrás da inexpugnável imagem do lendário espectáculo Crazy Horse.
"Even Wiseman, cerebral, perceptive, and a maestro in the editing room, can't resist urging us, with images if not with words, "Just look at them!" And so we do."
"It is a deft revelation of shared humanity, the kind of thing no one does better than Frederick Wiseman"
"The spectacle lodges somewhere between erotic reverie and the perfection of a revolving sculpture."
— David Denby de New Yorker
"Wiseman freely, unobtrusively prowls the joint to create a movie that respects the serious work involved in simulating the sensations of pleasure."
"The Crazy Horse Saloon in Paris is famous for its "erotic chic" revues, but I found nothing either erotic or chic in this reduction of body parts to geometrical displays."
