I have a cousin who rates a film by the amount of nudity it contains….of course he is a macho ape and only believes that women should be nude in the cinema….
Does anyone know the history of cinematic nudity?
Not to worry….there will be a documentary.
There have been documentaries on just about everything possible and now we can add the history of nudity in film.
When humanity first dreamed of the silver screen, there’s a 99% chance that dream also included, like, a lot of butts. Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies delves into this inarguable fact, while also exploring the many ways butts, boobs, balls, and boners have evolved on-screen as the standards and protocols of Hollywood have changed.
Directed by Danny Wolf (Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films of All-Time), the documentary features a genuinely impressive line-up of famous faces discussing the history of on-screen skin.
- Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, Targets, Saint Jack)
- Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie, Scary Movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back)
