Le Bal(1983)
Le Bal Synopsis
In a French nightclub, choreographed song and dance routines are performed, rather than a streamlined narrative. They tell the story of Parisian culture and politics from the 1920s—1980s. A disparate, anachronistic series of characters, including an ordinary waiter, a Nazi collaborator, resistance fighters, and 1960s student protestors gather to celebrate and satirize 20th century France's icons, demons, and social changes.
Le Bal (1983) is a music, comedy and drama film directed by Ettore Scola, released on December 21, 1983 with a runtime of 1h 52m. It stars Marc Berman, Christophe Allwright, Étienne Guichard and Régis Bouquet. Viewers rate it 7.0 out of 10 across 78 ratings.
