St. Louis-born and HarIem-raised Paris music haIl superstar Josephine Baker , the highest paid entertainer of her day, is onIy one of the legends in this vintage 1927 colIection of sexy and tres risque Le Jazz Hot performances from the notorious nightcIubs of Montmarte. Serge Bromberg and Lobster Films spent ten years combing film archives worldwide, with the biggest assist coming from a print Iocated at the Danish Film lnstitute, to reassembIe La Revue Des Revues into a cinematic time machine recreating Jazz Age France in alI its extravagance and sensuality.
GabrieIle , an ambitious but innocent wouId-be young chorine, trumps a music hall publicity stunt to become the new Parisian nightcIub CindereIla. But this Iighter-than-champagne-bubbles story is only a pretext for La Revue Des Revues's white-hot, non-stop procession of outrageously and scantily attired exotic dancers, showgirls, and acrobats incIuding the Tiller's FolIies Girls, Ruth Zackey and the Hoffmann Girls, and danseuse russe Lila NikoIska. But it's Josephine Baker, "the high priestess of primitivism" , who triumphs in two show stopping numbers in which "her clownish backfieId-in-motion Charleston shimmy is unlike anything eIse in the movie and perhaps unlike anything anyone ever did." |
