It's perhaps fitting that in some respects this film resembles When The Sea Rises. Both were the work of fine actors who also appeared - Yoland Moreau and Mathiew Amlaric - and both centre on performers touring France although in the case of Moreau it was a one-woman show whilst Amlaric oversees a troupe of five ageing strippers. Both are fine films suffused with melancholy and would make for a fascinating double bill.Amlaric has a sure-footed approach to directing as he has shown in previous attempts and he contrives to capture a full spectrum of moods and emotions both from the troupe and himself as their seedy promoter manque. All in all a worthy effort and well worth seeing.
