Film's somewhat 'artistic': a bare torso (7)
I believe the answer is:
cabaret
'film's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'somewhat artistic a bare torso' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CABARET' can be found hidden inside 'artistic a bare torso'.
(Other definitions for cabaret that I've seen before include "Film set in 1931 Berlin - floor show" , "Entertainment at night club" , "Floor-show as in nightclub" , "Entertainment at restaurant" , "Series of acts" .)
