“It’s a brilliant device, externalizing how the performer sees himself as a dancing monkey. (I know a chimp is an ape, not a monkey, but we don’t need to be pedantic about it. This is why nobody likes Neil deGrasse Tyson.) Celebrity makes people strange and sets them apart from others. Crowds can’t help but stare, the way they would at a chimp wearing a tuxedo.” – North Shore Movies, 01/17/2025
