Diary of a Nudist

About This Movie

Diary of a Nudist, directed by Doris Wishman, kind of veers into this odd mix of drama and social commentary. The film follows newspaper editor Arthur Sherwood, who discovers a nudist camp during a hunting trip, which leads to sending reporter Stacy Taylor on a rather unexpected assignment. The pacing feels a bit off at times, with moments that drag, but it really allows the themes of societal norms and personal freedom to breathe. The performances are quite earnest, especially Stacy’s evolving perspective on the nudists, which adds a layer of depth. It’s distinctive for its blend of curiosity and moral judgment, wrapped in Wishman's unique directorial style that showcases a very particular slice of life. Definitely a curiosity piece for anyone interested in the genre.
