I hat a better remembrance. It has aged a lot. The idea ends in itself, no great details through dance and music, Scola and his writers bit forced with a too french material and cast.

It is a film without language, no spoken word. Everything that is worth to be told is told with music and dance. We see the history of the 20th century France as the history of a dancing. Times change and the dance changes with time. So the problems that people face change. Decay of the aristocracy, German occupation, youth revolution of 68, racial conflicts - everything can be seen on this dancing floor as well as the love, aspirations, despair, hatred.
