In the Flesh (1995)

Behind the public face of every stripper is a private world of dreams and ambitions. Who among us has not, while seated at the sushi row of our local stripatorium, pondered the inner workings of the pulchritudinous damsel currently holding open her butt cheeks six inches from our nose? “What makes her tick?” we wonder. “Do I have any chance of ever marrying a girl like this?” The answers can be found in In the Flesh (1995). A behind-the-scenes documentary that allows real strippers to tell their actual stories, In the Flesh is more than a series of interviews of lap-dance conversationalists intercut with footage of exotic dancers strutting their flesh onstage. In the Flesh is an all-access pass to the secret lives of the publicly pubic.
