Shakedown was a club that had to close for financial reasons--and being raided by the cops must have played a part too. The interviews are often informative, the dancing can be very raunchy (a bit surprising for the high-minded Criterion Channel). The spirit of fun in the place is infectious. Beware of the murky lighting in some scenes, and strobe lights too.

Plot summary
SHAKEDOWN chronicles explicit performances in an underground lesbian club in Los Angeles. The story functions as a legend where money is both myth and material. Cumulatively, questions arise about how to diagram the before and after of a utopic moment. Directed by Leilah Weinraub.
