Eleven naked men audition, rehearse and perform for the premiere of master Belgian choreographer Thierry Smits’s new contemporary dance piece Anima Ardens. Mixing intimate rehearsal footage with extensive and breathtaking dance sequences, BARE follows the choreographer and his team as they work to explore difficult, often taboo subjects through nudity and dance. In this bold exploration of artistic conflict, gender, and sexuality the one constant is the conceit that the body is the last bastion of personal freedom.

Bare could have been radical, or at least intriguing, but it really is dull.

If you like dance, you will love this film. If you don't, there's still plenty to see.

If you're into Yoko Ono art exhibits and wearing scarves in the summer, maybe Bare will do something for you.

The film strips bare notions of masculinity, gender, and sexuality, creating something altogether new and exciting.

With minimal dialogue, it is probably best to view the movie as a record of the enfleshed give and take artistic process from start to finish.

Aside from the unflinching nudity, this film is a fascinating depiction of the production from early try-outs to the first public performance.
