The dramas of some strip-dancers in a nightclub called Blue Iguana are the theme of this movie. Angel (Daryl Hannah) is a dancer wishing to adopt a child. Stormy (Sheila Kelley) is a dancer with a secret with her brother Sully (Elias Koteas). Jasmine (Sandra Oh) is a poetess who fells in love with Dennis (Chris Hogan). Jo (Jennifer Tilly) is a dancer who became pregnant and Jessie (Charlotte Ayanna) is a woman fighting to survive in Hollywood. The link between them is the fact that they dance at Blue Iguana, a strip-club managed by Eddie (Robert Wisdom).
This movie is not a bad movie, but the shallow dramas of each dancer are not enough to support the story in a higher level. A woman who decides to work as a strip-dancer certainly has had some trouble in her past (or present). The viewer has a chance to see beautiful breasts, butts and naked bodies of many beautiful actresses, especially Charlotte Ayanna, Sheila Kelley and Daryl Hannah. The fat of Jennifer Tilly is justified since her character is pregnant. On the DVD, the director Michael Radford explains that when he joined the actors and actresses, there was no screenplay. The cast developed each character and this type of creative activity seems to be very unique. Further, on DVD there is a documentary directed by Daryl Hannah showing how she developed the character of Angel that is worthwhile. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Divas do Blue Iguana" ("Divas of the Blue Iguana")
