The human form with its endless variety of expression, has fascinated the great masters throughout the centuries. Now the glory of the classic nude comes alive in this incredible cinematic “art book.” Nudes in Limbo, an Original Program from MCA Home Video, is a breathtaking study of the body beautiful as never seen before. Through a series of imaginatively designed scenes, the male and female forms take on exciting abstract dimensions. Uncluttered limbo and natural backgrounds permit close study of each angle, while a rich musical score adds a lyrical touch to images of the most spectacular men and women ever captured on camera. It’s a unique sensual experience that offers countless hours of captivating, inspired viewing.
Nudes in Limbo is an artistic exploration of the nude form (both women and men are featured). Director Bruce Seth Green’s aim here isn’t to titillate the audience. He’s more concerned with seeing human body in motion. Even at fifty-two minutes, it all feels a bit overlong. It probably would’ve been just right at a half-hour. I can’t say it’s exactly boring, thanks to the acres of flesh on display. It’s just that if it wasn’t for the participation of certain individuals (Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer among them), it would’ve been easy to skip. I’m still glad I saw it. Sort of.

‘Nudes in Limbo’ and the naked aesthetic
The video is a series of short pieces of very buff nude people. The models don’t speak, and the backgrounds are solid colors, with no decorations to let you know where the models are. So these nudes are, if not truly in limbo, certainly no place you can describe. In each short piece, the model is/models are performing some G-rated activity that shows off their body: a gymnast man works out on the hanging rings, two women hold in front of them a gauzy cloth that is being blown by an off-camera fan, a blonde runs a fluorescent tube down the length of her body, etc.
