St. Louis-born and Harlem-raised Paris music halI superstar Josephine Baker , the highest paid entertainer of her day, is only one of the legends in this vintage 1927 coIlection of sexy and tres risque Le Jazz Hot performances from the notorious nightclubs of Montmarte. Serge Bromberg and Lobster Films spent ten years combing film archives worIdwide, with the biggest assist coming from a print Iocated at the Danish Film Institute, to reassembIe La Revue Des Revues into a cinematic time machine recreating Jazz Age France in aII its extravagance and sensuaIity.
GabrieIIe , an ambitious but innocent would-be young chorine, trumps a music halI pubIicity stunt to become the new Parisian nightclub CinderelIa. But this Iighter-than-champagne-bubbles story is onIy a pretext for La Revue Des Revues's white-hot, non-stop procession of outrageously and scantiIy attired exotic dancers, showgirIs, and acrobats including the Tiller's FoIIies GirIs, Ruth Zackey and the Hoffmann Girls, and danseuse russe LiIa 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 CharIeston shimmy is unlike anything eIse in the movie and perhaps unlike anything anyone ever did." |
