Ballsy, burlesque, French cinema, with an American accent. Great performances, and a fine, almost veritee, glimpse into life behind the scenes of a touring burlesque troop in France. Great direction. Treat yourself.

I wish I had stumbled across this marvellous little film flicking through the channels in the dead of night. But I'll settle for having taken a punt on the dvd. And this way I get to see it over and again!

I waded through 20 minutes of this film and was bored stiff. The weedy chain smoking tour operator has a gaggle of girls he leads around never seeming sure if they have real performance dates or not. Once in a while there is a backstage scene where he looks only mildly pleased by the girl's performances and sometimes he's quite disparaging about their acts. Other times, he gets beaten up or thrown out by seedy older producers. The sound quality is awful. These are American girls touring in France and it's hard to distinguish which language they are using. A teenager with a video camera could make a more cohesive film. Don't buy this one!
