Cast: Miss Indigo Blue
Running Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Rating: Unrated
Release date: May 8, 2009
Plot: A documentary following Miss Indigo Blue’s Academy of Burlesque’s students. The film intersperses the student’s stories with performances by professional burlesque dancers in Seattle and commentary by Blue.
Who’s It For? If you’re into burlesque you’ll probably appreciate learning more. If not, it’s definitely interesting anyway. Iif you like boobs, you’ll love it.
Expectations: I didn’t get burlesque, it just seemed like stripping with fancy costumes. So I wasn’t really excited about this film.
Scorecard (0-10)
Actors:
Miss Indigo Blue as herself: Blue is a performer, which can be good or bad in a documentary. I’m going with bad for this one. She’s clearly a good teacher, the scenes with her in the classroom are great.
