Ettore ScolaCast
Members of the Théâtre du Campagnol
Plot
A Paris dance hall is shown across the decades from 1936 to 1983, told entirely through music and dance with no spoken dialogue. It was nominated for an Oscar.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ettore Scola's wordless musical traces a Paris dance hall from 1936 to 1983 purely through music, dance and faces. Charming and moving, with a troupe of expressive performers, it is a clever, nostalgic history of France in steps.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
