People are still talking about it. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: A natural pick for music lovers and anyone who loves a strong drama. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1963: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In order to pay the rent, a young ballet dancer living in Paris accepts a job in an upmarket strip club. She soon devises a unique act that captivates audiences and catapults her to stardom.
