In closing, one must applaud the filmmakers for their wisdom in including the single most important full frontal romp committed to film in the past 20 years: Ken Davitian's nude wrestling match with Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat.

This despicable doc leers far more than it reveals.

While "Skin" doesn't do any formally daring loops, at two hours and 10 minutes, it's a consistently engaging record with colorful input from each of the interview subjects, well-edited and with plenty of titillating footage.

A breezy, open-eyed, and often encyclopedic compendium of all the ways the cinema has celebrated, exploited, and negotiated the power of the naked body.

It's a movie with a lot of memorable moments, even if it may not be the movie for this particular moment.

Meanders a bit too much in covering and uncovering 100-plus years of movies, but the net effect is indeed revealing -- not just for the nostalgia of it all, but how understanding that history can inform where Hollywood goes from here.
