The title is derived from Bar Bizarre in Brooklyn, a home for fetish performances that take place on stage for all to see! Homeless French teenager, Maurice, seems to be on the run. As luck has it, the female owners of Bizarre take Maurice in, creating a new and strange path in his life. What transpires is almost reminiscent of the Warhol / Morrissey films, FLESH (1968), TRASH (1970) and HEAT (1972), but with less talk and more visual aid in telling the tale. The standout in this curious piece is the stage performers of Bar Bizarre, and how strange indeed. As for the rest, you watch in wonder and get taken in with Maurice's affection with the feminine anorexia barman, Luka (stunning performance and not to be seen in anything else at the moment).

A French teenager gets a job at the burlesque club Bizarre in New York.I had a vague idea of what to expect with this, that it would be arty, explicit and the explicitness would be largely gratuitous. It's certainly all that, and less.A plot would have been nice. There is none, or nothing discernible at least. The teenager is really just a medium to show all the weird, pretentious stuff, as if it's a documentary and he's the historian.It's all about weird stuff happening just for shock value sake and is totally devoid of any substance.Avoid.

I was completely engaged by the movie. But, why did that man want to kill Maurice? Did Maurice kill everyone in the end, and why? Why was he naked in the end? I'm so perplexed by the ending of the movie. But, I can't find any solid answers to my questions.
