CGiii Comment

Amateur, un-insightful, ponderous - this is not an exploration into the world of gay strippers...most are, supposedly, god-fearing heterosexuals.

They spout on endlessly on how good they are or want to become...they're strippers for fuck sake - it doesn't take any talent to strip...just a little stupidity and a ridiculously huge ego.

This is what this film is about ego - shallow, meaningless & unintelligent - displayed amply by both the subjects and the film-makers.

"Zona Rosa" is a documentary about the strippers who work in the gay clubs in Mexico City's famous district, the Zona Rosa. Christian Miranda gives us a tour though his professional and personal life while working as a cage-dancer stripper at one of Mexico City's famous gay nightclubs. Along with Christian we meet other strippers, patrons of the clubs and the club mangers. The nightlife, the scene, the money and the consequences are all on display as we tour through the notorious reality that gives the Zona Rosa its name.
