American Swing

A shrewdly made documentary about the rise and fall of Plato’s Retreat, the infamous Manhattan sex club of the ’70s and ’80s. A lot of the patrons were suburban schlubs, and the movie does justice to their odd... normality. The least classy person there was owner Larry Levenson, a nudnick who made the nightly bacchanals feel as friendly – and about as sexy – as a bar mitzvah. ”American Swing” drolly evokes this Romper Room of middle-class exhibitionism, with its petri dish of a swimming pool and its icky lasagna-and chicken buffet. Plato’s Retreat was a buffet of bodies, and the film catches the moment America could think that was tasty.
