Title: All Wet
Review: Grainy and incoherent, THE BATHERS follows an uninvolving group of dancers in a Parisian peep show. The girls strip, dance, bicker, strip, dance, bicker, strip, dance, bicker, and for a change of pace, shove infant formula at the baby of one girl's sister in a distinctly non-maternal manner. There's a plot, of the flimsiest sort, concerning a paroled convict who's convinced, for no particular reason, one druggy dancer is his missing daughter -- cue for a series of scenes involving adult toys, familial recrimination and and turgid dialogue. The transfer's indifferent, but somehow that hardly matter here. Even the most devoted fan of French slice-of-life films will find this epic tough sledding.
