Free The Nipple (2014/IFC DVD)



Picture: B- Sound: B- Extras: D Film: D



If you are a feminist, then boy this is the movie for you.

Free The Nipple is an insightful documentary about an army of passionate women that launch a revolution to 'Free the Nipple' and decriminalize the female body. Based on a true story, this mass movement of topless women, armed with First Amendment lawyers, graffiti installations and national publicity stunts, invade New York City to protest the backwards censorship laws in the USA.

Directed by Lino Esco, the documentary is pretty interesting in seeing what happens when these women boldly express their bodies and opinions. It makes you think about our nation's freedoms and how much as changed since our parents' generation. One reviewer referred to the film as a Billboard more than a serious piece of filmmaking. I love breasts as much as the next guy, but in my opinion what is condemned suitable to public acceptance isn't going to change after a movement like this erupts.

Though it may take itself too seriously at times and may come across as a thin budgeted lore, it is a good excuse to see LOTS of topless women on screen. I don't think I could sit through it again though.

Presented in standard definition with an anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track. There are also some subtitles in English and French.

The only extra are some trailers.
