	Striptease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A striptease is a performance, usually a dance, in which the performer gradually removes his or her clothing for the purposes of sexually arousing the audience, usually performed in nightclubs.
		Striptease enjoyed a revival with the advent of burlesque theatre, with famous strippers such as Gypsy Rose Lee.
		Many in the striptease industry appear in pornographic movies or magazines to be paid more for appearing at stripclubs as "feature dancers" because they are "porn stars", which clubs advertise to bring in a bigger paying audience.

	Striptease (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Striptease opens with a close-up of a man's wet Speedo-clad butt, letting you know that, despite all the hype -- about Demi Moore getting paid $12.5 million to show what newsstand visitors can often see for free on the cover of Vanity Fair -- this movie will be about equal-opportunity objectification and exploitation.
		Granted, Striptease is not a disaster like that other expensive ecdysiast extravaganza, Showgirls, though if it were, it might at least have some redeeming camp awfulness to enliven its otherwise dull mediocrity.
		With few exceptions, the film's attitude toward its characters is mean and condescending, and its ugly, misanthropic stench sticks to them all.

	The Duck Speaks » Striptease
		When Striptease opened it quietly died at the American box office but grossed enough overseas to allow her to drop several more bombs the nadir of which had to be the unspeakable Scarlet Letter adaptation.
		Had this film appeared earlier in her career and in the hands of a more capable director it could have been a funny, sexy hit, Moore is very close to my conception of Erin.
		The film jettisoned the subplot on the devastation the sugar mills have brought down on the Everglades and the abuses of immigrant labor the industry is allowed to get away with.

	Burlesque of the 1950s
		The cementing of burlesque as striptease was due to several factors inherent in the development of burlesque in the theater and in the social and economic pressures brought to bear on burlesque venues in the 1950s.
		Films of burlesque performance are as rare as the magazines which covered them as the films have lost their pornographic value and are consequently only available if they have cult status, such as Irving Klaw’s films centering around Betty Page.
		All the "formal wear" sported by the stripteasers in the film featured side slits or a front panel through which the legs could be revealed, whether or not such an opening was appropriate to the high fashion of the era (which they were imitating).

	Striptease
		In light of that attention, Andrew Bergman's "Striptease," which is no "Showgirls" (and is instead an easygoing film version of the hilarious novel by Carl Hiaasen), may well leave audiences wondering what all the fuss is about.
		Written mostly as ensemble comedy, "Striptease" grinds to a halt whenever the star goes through her dance paces, most of which prove awkwardly strenuous and are daring only by the standards of A-list movie stars.
		Also drifting through "Striptease" are Erin's professional colleagues, who appear casually topless and do their best to justify stripping as wholesome, honest work, not to mention Hollywood's current favorite variation on the oldest profession.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review of the films of Brian Frye, by Fred Camper.
		This review of the films of Brian Frye is also available on the Chicago Reader Web site, in the form that it appeared in the print version of the newspaper, in the issue of September 11, 1998.
		Frye began making films as a Berkeley undergraduate, then received an MFA in filmmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute; among his inspirations are filmmakers Jonas Mekas, Hollis Frampton, and Ernie Gehr.
		Both use found footage, though their use of it is antithetical to the genre's usual approach, which is to emphasize the humor or absurdity of the material, whether a major world event or a TV commercial.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Striptease \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Sadly, however, for all the film's stabs at broad comedy and its ambition in terms of story layers, "Striptease" is a mishmash of failed gags, uneven performances and boring strip-club sequences.
		The film vacillates from being a violent thriller to a slapstick comedy to a poignant drama, but Bergman is unable to mesh these disparate elements.
		In general, the entire film is just too mean-spirited to be fun, and some gags seem awfully wrong-headed, as when a stripper's cobra dies, is quickly replaced without her knowledge and nearly strangles her.

	village voice > film > by Dennis Lim
		In the absence of her prismatic language, the film rests on its approximate visual equivalent: Rampling's luminous performance, which suggests a trance of ruefully imperfect denial, the spell broken all too often by crippling pangs of awareness and self-knowledge.
		The film's reference points are culturally specific (it was made partly in response to the sarin-gas attacks in Tokyo), but from our vantage point—in the context of a society that overvalues resilience, lacks the patience for grief, and even now urges restlessly for a return to normality—the 220-minute Eureka serves as an implicit rebuke.
		Indeed, the most seemly parting gesture for a film that has spent much of its duration in mourning may be a simple acknowledgment that the emotions in question are anything but finite.

	Striptease - Nitrate Online Review
		ear the beginning of Striptease, the sleazy proprietor of what is euphemistically referred to as a "gentlemen’s club" asks one of his girls, Erin Grant (Moore) to consider participating in nude wrestling in a pile of agricultural commodities to improve attendance.
		Striptease is a film that might be best referred to as an anomaly: it’s a comedy that isn’t very funny.
		It was also supposed to be the film that was supposed to demonstrate Moore’s worth as an actress; the return in the latter case is as skimpy as her dancing clothes.

	'Striptease' (R)
		Demi Moore bares most everything but her soul in "Striptease," a sexless seriocomedy that would be a bust without the support of Burt Reynolds and Ving Rhames.
		Striptease is rated R for nudity, sexuality and profanity.
		"Striptease" is the tale of Erin Grant (Moore), a stripper out of economic necessity, working hard against the system to get custody of her daughter who resides with her felon dad.

	Film/Classic: La Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The film was banned for many years in Italy because of its depiction of many Italians, at least the rich ones, as degenerate, selfish, spoiled souls, its blatant sexuality, and also because of its substantial, irreverent religious content that offended many Catholics.
		At the party, Nadia does a striptease, but the jaded partygoers, some of whom are openly homosexual, are not satisfied and Marcello, who has become a publicity agent, proceeds to insult various guests and stick feathers on one woman and ride her like a horse.
		Had Fellini ended the film without the final striptease party, and even without the reappearance and rejection of the Umbrian angel, we might have despaired for Marcello as Modern Man, not satisfied by traditional religion, not content with the trappings of the elite, the trappings of marriage, the trappings of affairs, still searching for answers.

	STRIPTEASE
		The film is written and directed by Andrew Bergman who adapted the script from Carl Hiaasen's bestseller.
		Although the backdrop for the film is about strip clubs and stripping, making the subject matter controversial, Moore was attracted to the script for a multitude of reasons.
		Perhaps the film's most difficult location was the Dade County Morgue because doctors were conducting actual autopsies in the same room as the filming (albeit behind screens).

	Exotica
		Here is what the last scene in the film meant, he explained, his four- or five-word declamation a stark and numbing negation of the gentle, almost languid spirit of the film, which invites the audience to its own discovery.
		Much is made of the erotic conundrum at the heart of a striptease (or, one supposes, an erotic film): the dancer's actions are meant to arouse and excite the patron, who is helpless to be anything but a passive viewer.
		At Exotica (as in, one supposes, an erotic film), voyeurism is a frustrated alias for emotional intercourse, and mother figure Zoe respects the power of those relationships, even as she zealously protects her dancers from customers who commit the ultimate transgression of touching a performer.

	Interview: Film strips - movies about the striptease business
		The script, though, promises not a sex film but a film about the class system in the striptease industry and about the promise of sex that exists in striptease, the promise that's never kept.
		Given the cold attention to brutality in Verhoeven's earlier American films, there's every likelihood that Showgirls' set pieces, of which there are many, will be as sheeny and expensive as a Hustler centerfold, or as icily untouchable as that Times shot of Ms.
		Egoyan, whose film unfolds in a plush strip club with an iconic schoolgirl dancer (Mia Kirshner), has no peer at laying bare the damage we do when we watch sexual sideshows instead of participating in sex itself (assuming we are able to).

	Striptease: From Gaslight to Spotlight by Jessica Glasscock \| PopMatters Book Review
		Still, burlesque and striptease are portrayed as exotic phenomena existing in the past or in exciting travel destinations.
		Striptease does the opposite by legitimizing the form's impact on culture, as well as how its own cues related much about each era in social history.
		Glasscock writes that response to a properly performed striptease is a physical one, but the stripper has to be more than physically exciting to be convincing, thus ushering in tease, subtlety and humor.

		This much can be said about Striptease, anyway: It comes closer to capturing the spirit, if not the stature, of Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders than the current film that appropriates that masterwork's title.
		A film as easygoing as Striptease can be hurt by the kind of hype it has received.
		This sort of film begins with the assumption that women who work in strip clubs are a jolly, supportive lot and that a U.S. congressman will just naturally be a stupid, drunken, horny and corrupt bastard--nothing too outrageous so far.

		I just think that she was too serious, intense, and solemn doing the striptease numbers – after all it is not only strip it is tease, too.
		There are plenty of laughs, actually, in "Striptease" but quite often they seem like the wrong and unintentional type for the movie material.

	Striptease
		The film features a female lead with a sympathetic "tear jerker" story about losing her job with the FBI, then losing her daughter, all because of a low-life husband.
		This film itself is an absolute mess, with a bad plot, bad acting, worse dialogue, and very little character development.
		Films under five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film, equivalent to about one and a half stars from the critics or less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

		In "Striptease," Moore again plays an enlightened, can-do woman who threatens the local political establishment--a woman with too much attitude for our repressed modern world and a better person than anyone else alive today, save her innocent daughter.
		The saint in "Striptease" is a fine up-standing woman who must dance in a strip club in order to earn the money she needs for a custody battle with her sleazeball ex-husband.
		What "Striptease" does provide, however, are an extraordinary number of shots of Demi Moore bending over as she dances, her buns of steel filling the screen.

	Review: Striptease (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Unfortunately, Striptease's satirical bent, while aimed not only at the sexist attitudes of those who patronize topless joints, but at politicians, right-wing religious fanatics, and lawyers, is unfocused and lacks the requisite viciousness.
		One of the supposed comic elements of Striptease is Burt Reynolds' offensive, fatuous character.
		Striptease is a curious mix of eroticism, comedy, and drama that, instead of blending into a pleasing whole, has a tendency to separate and curdle.
