Synopsis:
French Can Can is a vivid and refined story about the renovation of the Moulin Rouge theatre, sweet dancer Nina and the cabaret impresario Ziedler (Jean Gabin). The film is rich in visual style (influence of French impressionists: Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec), and the finely portrayed emotional relations between characters have been skillfully presented through the fin de siècle atmosphere.
