In SHAKEDOWN—a film with the rare distinction of at one point being simultaneously available on both the Criterion Channel and Pornhub—conceptual artist Leilah Weinraub’s documents the vibrant and provocative world of the eponymous L.A.’s Black, lesbian underground strip club. With the tenderness of a home movie, Weinraub provides a window into the world of Shakedown, which was owned and operated by women, illegal in nature, and a place of sexual empowerment and community. An exploration of desire, identity, and resistance, hailed by Cinema Scope as “a queer cultural intervention on par with PARIS IS BURNING, without the touristic undertones,” SHAKEDOWN captures the propulsive, dreamlike atmosphere of a haven of sexual freedom.
