Burning Man: The Burning Sensation (2002)
Synopsis
Alex Nohe directs this documentary about a bacchanalian event in the moonscape of the Nevada desert. "Participants Only: No Spectators," read the tickets for the weeklong event where there are no rules, no structure, and approximately 24,000 screaming, often naked, Gen-Xers. Aside from marathon sessions of noisy lovemaking in the sand, ecstasy binges, and general mayhem, the film focuses on body hair barber shops, topless bicycle races, and of course, a naked effigy of Bill Clinton that dispenses sun block from one of his more frequently-discussed organs. Attention is also paid to the performance and installation art that is just as central to Burning Man as its more hedonistic features.
