Don't Believe the Hype

Disappointment for a huge fan!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It is a documentary. I don't much care for documentaries.The audio was about 90 percent French without subtitles. I don't speak French.Yet it held me enthralled for one hundred minutes, and I only wish it didn't have to end.If you enjoy good-looking nudity you will love "Living Naked" (also called "Vivre Nu"). The nudists in this movie are all real people. All of them--men, women, children--look like they enjoy every minute that they can spend unclothed. And the viewer cannot help sharing in their enjoyment.Well worth at least 15 stars--too bad I can't give more than ten.

Nudity is unsettling. Nudity fascinates. Nudity is exciting. As a matter of fact we tend to mix nakedness,sexuality, lifestyle and pleasure. Living Naked sorts out the concepts and tries to present us with the "naked truth" about naturalism. Through many testimonies, some very funny, some moving, through fascinating archive footage and a tour of the main naturist resorts in France and Germany. Living Naked explores, demystifies the taboos. Nor a voyeur, nor a proselyte, Director Robert Salis addresses the Adam or the Eve living inside of us. Just released on DVD in French, this is a unique must see feature film about naturalism.
