Theysit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Swept Away, 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.
