Paris is Burning

Penetrating the tight-knit community of minority drag queens living in New York City, Jennie Livingston's acclaimed documentary offers an early glimpse at the art of "voguing," the underground dance style later popularized by Madonna in her hit song. The film also explores issues such as racism, homophobia and AIDS, while offering a detailed examination of the intricate Ball culture, in which queens are judged for their style and expression.



1990 R 76 minutes

3.25 stars (Dale-4, David-2.5) fascinating look into voguing and Ball culture. Glad we are not part of all of that..have many friends who love it though.

When they first started 'voguing'we went to one of the balls--a lot of talent and a way of getting the teens off the street!

This is the kind of documentary I will enjoy a lot. The style reminds me of "Miss Jay" on America's Next Top Model.
