Crazy Horse

Frederick Wiseman
France-USA
Synopsis
Director
Pictures
Celebrated documentary director Frederick Wiseman spent ten weeks with his camera exploring one of the most mythic places dedicated to women, the Crazy Horse. This legendary Parisian cabaret club, founded in 1951 by Alain Bernardin, has become, over the years, the Parisian nightlife 'must' for any visitors, ranking alongside the Eiffel tower and the Louvre. Wiseman's impeccable eye allows us to enter into this intriguing international temple of the Parisian club world and to discover what makes the Crazy Horse tick: elegance, perfectionism and a grueling schedule (with 2 shows a night and 3 on Saturdays, 7 days a week).
