Le Bal
Originally released in 1983. Le Bal is a music/comedy film. directed by Ettore Scola.
Starring Marc Berman, Christophe Allwright, and Étienne Guichard
Synopsis
In a French nightclub, choreographed song and dance routines are performed, rather than a streamlined narrative. They tell the story of Parisian culture and politics from the 1920s—1980s. A disparate, anachronistic series of characters, including an ordinary waiter, a Nazi collaborator, resistance fighters, and 1960s student protestors gather to celebrate and satirize 20th century France's icons, demons, and social changes.
