SKIN: A HISTORY OF NUDITY IN THE MOVIES
D: Danny Wolf (2020) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
Ever since there were movies, people have been getting naked in them. This documentary tracks some of the history of that phenomenon, from "Ecstasy" and "Tarzan and His Mate" to "Caligula" and "I Spit On Your Grave" to "Showgirls", "Basic Instinct" and "Personal Best". It's a good, comprehensive survey, the best part being that it doesn't cut away from the naughty bits. It shows you what its witnesses are talking about. They include Linda Blair, Joe Dante, Camille Keaton, Kevin Smith, Mariel Hemingway, Sean Young, Malcolm McDowell and dozens more. A must for fans of skin on the screen. For puritans, maybe not.
