WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Retired couple Olivier (Saladin) and Laurence (Cravotta) enter a local dance competition to solve their towering debt. Government official Stéphane Lemarchand (Paou) is suspected of tax fraud.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This bizarre French film from filmmaker Jean-Christophe Meurisse seems at first to be a pretty clever satire, but then it takes a turn that needs to be seen to be believed.
