Synopsis: Joachim (Amalric) produces a team of New burlesque strip-tease performers. They all dream about Paris but are actually traveling from port to port. The showgirls invent an extravagant fantasy world of warmth and hedonism, despite the constant round of impersonal hotels with their endless elevator music and the lack of money. 
Review: Apart from the story on difficulties for the production of a Burlesque show, I expected a discussion of the artistic ideas of this performance. But no. It is a movie on a narcissic producer while actually the more interesting part was when the artists talk about the reasons why they are doing that, what they feel during the show. It might be an image of the indie film industry. I appreciated Amalric until now therefore I do not think that this movie is so narcissic. 
The camera driving is particularly good for the close-ups. In total much less interesting than expected. 
Rating: 3 /10
