French Can Can (original title: French Cancan ) is a French-Italian music film by Jean Renoir from 1955 with many dance and singing interludes.
action
The film begins in the “Paravent Chinois” variety theater with a belly dance by the dancer Lola de Castro, known as “La Belle Abbesse”. Director Henri Danglard encourages a beginner backstage. The beginner, a piper, is applauded and asked for an encore.
Danglard attends a ball in the “Reine Blanche” variety theater with some guests. Beautiful pictures with dances follow.
The bailiff visits Danglard. He can't pay. The Chinois screen is attached. The bailiff Casimir, known as the rubber man, shows Danglard his artistic skills.
Danglard climbs up the stairs to Montmartre , meets the laundress Nini, recruits her as a dancer and takes her to the dance school for training. Together with Mimi Prunelle, a former can-can dancer, Danglard invents the “French can-can” as an attraction for his new variety show, the Moulin Rouge . Baron Adrien Walter finances the new variety show.
The Moulin Rouge is to be built on Montmartre on the site of the Reine Blanche. The Reine Blanche is blown up. Work on the Moulin Rouge is in full swing and the topping-out ceremony will be soon. A minister even appears. There were fights between Danglard and Ninis' jealous lover, the journeyman baker Paulo, in the course of which Danglard fell into a five-meter-deep pit. After his recovery, Danglard is given notice of the hotel room because Baron Walter withdraws funding because of their lover Lola.
Danglard has to hide in the dance school. Nini now leaves her baker and becomes Danglard's lover. As such, Nini is courted by Prince Alexander, who takes on the financing of the Moulin Rouge. Construction continues. Since Prince Alexander remains unheard of, he attempts suicide.
Numbers in some Parisian variety shows are shown below.
The prince has to go back to his homeland to succeed his father. In parting, he hands over the Moulin Rouge to Danglard and hands the papers over to Nini. When the day of the opening of the Moulin Rouge came, Nini initially threatened not to appear. If so encouraged, she then appears.
Reviews
“Jean Renoir has played out his compositional art and his love for dramatic details to the full in a film that lets the“ Belle Epoque ”shine like no other; the equipment becomes an integral element of action. "
