Cleavage

Just saw this on a DVD a friend had bought from the A&E website. And all I can say is ignore the incoherent review that says the Russ Meyer line was taken out of context--it wasn't (and the rest of that review is bewilderingly lame). In any case, this is a well-written, comprehensive, and enlightening look at breasts and their place in pop culture. The section about women athletes and breasts covers some topics that no one ever talks about, the bit about women who use their breasts at work contains some surprising revelations, and it's also interesting to learn how much cleavage has been involved in political scandals. Plus, the editing, interviews, and cinematography are all top notch. At two hours, this documentary might be a bit long, and Carmen Electra isn't going to put professional narrators like Liev Schreiber out of business, but this is definitely worth seeing.
