French Cancan [SEP] cast member
French Cancan
French Cancan is a 1955 French musical film written and directed by Jean Renoir and starring Jean Gabin and Francoise Arnoul. 
Where Renoir’s previous film "Le Carosse d’or" had celebrated the 18th-century Italian commedia dell’arte, this work is a homage to the Parisian café-concert of the 19th century with its popular singers and dancers. Visually, the film evokes the paintings of Edgar Degas and the Impressionists, including his own father, Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It also marked his return to France and
turmoil. At the end of the film, Jean is ordered to dig a grave for Louise, who has been sentenced to death by the court.
