Fantastic movie. Just got out of it. When an art form that you've devoted years to suddenly dies out, even though it's the one thing that gives you life, it can leave you aimless. What was once all the talk of the town and a spectacle now plays to crowds less than 20 and you can't move with the same vigor that you could 20 or 30 years ago.
I was surprised at how fast this film flew by, but it makes its point without overstaying its welcome and delivers some very emotional, memorable performances- even folks who are only in the film for a few minutes, like Jason Schwartzman, leave an impression. Of course, bravo to Pamela Anderson for a hell of a performance, and it's nice to see what Jamie Lee Curtis looks like when she's dipped in bronze paint.
