 | Film introduced then followed by a Cine Salon discussion over refreshments Venue: Cine Lumiere, 17 Queensberry Place, London SW7 2DT Date: Sunday 14 July Time: 2.00pm Duration: 102 minutes Certificate: PG Year: 1954 Director: Jean Renoir Cast: Jean Gabin, Françoise Arnoul, Maria Felix, Anna Amendola Synopsis: Nineteenth-century Paris comes vibrantly alive in this exhilarating tale of the opening of the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Jean Gabin plays the wily impresario Danglard, who makes the cancan all the rage while juggling the love of two beautiful women – an Egyptian belly-dancer and a naive working girl turned cancan star. This celebration of life, art and the City of Light (with a cameo by Edith Piaf) is a Technicolor tour de force. |
