British and French collaboration on a small production film based on a true story telling the story behind a nude theatre.
Veteran British actress Judi Dench was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for her outstanding performance in this film. With her 72-year-old age, she can switch from strong woman to small woman with ease. It has to be admirable, but it is possible Too much emphasis on techniques ignores the emotions expressed by oneself, which makes the audience feel distant.
The little struggle between Mrs. Henderson and Van Damm, a pair of happy enemies, is really interesting, and the contradiction between tradition and development is also an important humorous element of the film. This kind of more orthodox comedy is rare these days.
