01
Why this pick
Like French Cancan, it turns theatrical performance and romantic entanglement into lavish spectacle, with an intoxicating period world and a bittersweet awareness of the cost beneath the show.
02
Why this pick
Its elegant camera movement, musical rhythm, and delicately shifting love triangle echo Renoir’s pleasure in performance, social ritual, and emotion expressed through finely choreographed motion.
03
Why this pick
Renoir again joins bright theatrical artifice with tender, complicated desire, following performers whose stage lives and private feelings continually overlap.
04
Why this pick
For the same love of 19th-century Parisian show business: a richly populated theatre world where actors, dancers, lovers, and dreamers make romance feel grandly public and poignantly fragile.
05
Why this pick
It shares French Cancan’s humane ensemble touch and buoyant surface, letting flirtation, class comedy, and staged social behavior reveal a more melancholy undertow.

01 / THE STORY
Set in 1890s Paris, Henri Danglard is the owner of a cafe, which features his mistress, Lola, as a belly dancer. Losing money, Henri finds himself in Montmartre and finds that the old-fashioned can-can is still being performed there. Inspired, Henri comes up with a new business scheme that aims to revive the can-can, featuring a new dancer, Nini, a laundress he meets by chance.
