A Wink and a Smile
Dir. Dierdre Timmons US 2008
An intoxicating mix of private thoughts and public behavior, A Wink and a Smile exposes more than the human body by spotlighting gender, power, sexuality and social identity. It follows the lives of ten ordinary women who do something extraordinary - learn the art of burlesque dancing and striptease. Through their adventures, we see how a homemaker, a reporter, a doctor, an opera singer, a taxidermist and a college student join the American cultural revival of burlesque, as it moves from fringe fascination to mainstream obsession, engaging a world where performance art and showgirl spectacle, music, theater and sensuality crash into over-the-top glamour.
