If you loved La Chienne, try French Cancan

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jean Renoir, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Chienne, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What French Cancan is

Here's a film that knows its way around a petticoat. A showman decides to revive the cancan dance at his new Montmartre club. It all works out, with the exception of his messy love life. It's a film that wears its heart on its sleeve, or perhaps somewhere lower.
