camera exploring one of the most mythic places dedicated to women, the CRAZY HORSE PARIS.

Wiseman’s impeccable eye allows us to enter into this intriguing international temple of the Parisian cabaret world nd to discover what makes the Crazy Horse tick: elegance, perfectionism and a grueling schedule.
The film follows the rehearsals and performances of a new show DESIRS staged by Phillipe Decoufle, a celebrated French choreographer, as well as back stage preparations of the dancers (make-up and costume fittings) and the various issues involved in planning the show. The show DESIRS is an artistic, modern humorous and colorful spectacle that is the pinnacle of “nude chic.”
