French Cancan
Directed by Jean Renoir, 1955, 1h45, France-Italy
With Jean Gabin, Françoise Arnoul, María Félix
Presented in partnership with the Seward Park Conservancy and the Mexican Cultural Institute in New York.
Set in the vibrant Belle Epoque, live entertainment entrepreneur Henri Danglard undertakes the renovation of a historic Parisian cabaret, the Moulin Rouge. Betting on the revival of the cancan dance, he turns young washerwoman Nini into a star dancer. Along the way, Danglard confronts the jealousy of his lover Lola, the fickleness of his sponsors, and the fierce competition of the Montmartre scene.
