Nude

Right now you can watch Nude in Australia on Zee5 and Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels, and in the UK on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels — and it earns the access it was given. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 168 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Worth watching in order, from the beginning — the cumulative effect is the point. Put it on tonight on Zee5 and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Nude is worth clearing space for. Nude resists the urge to oversimplify a subject that deserves better. NUDE explores perceptions of nudity in art by chronicling the creative process of photographer David Bellemere as he's commissioned by NU Muses founder Steve Shaw to shoot a fine art calendar of nude photographs. David Bellemere and Steve Shaw lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2017. What elevates Nude above most documentary work is a refusal to settle for the easy version of the story. Every minute repays the time invested, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

For viewers who want their entertainment to leave them with something, Nude delivers on both counts. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Rigorous in a way documentary work does not always commit to. Not background viewing — it rewards your full attention.
