CHEESE

About This Movie

CHEESE (1980) dives into the peculiar intersection of culture and cheerleading, exploring how the Anglo-Saxon expression transforms into a symbol of joy—'SMILE'—as it dances through festivals. The documentary captures the essence of communal celebrations, focusing on the vibrant parades and the rhythmic drum bands, all punctuated by the lively cheerleading troops that have become integral to these events. The pacing is a bit loose, which lets you soak in the atmosphere rather than just racing through the visuals. There's a rawness in the practical effects and performances that feels genuine, almost nostalgic. It's like a snapshot of a time when cheerleading was still finding its place in societal events, making it a curious watch for those interested in cultural evolution through the lens of sport and performance.
