Film Synopsis
Eugène, Gino, Christiane and their merry gang of white-haired hipsters
may not be as young as they once were but that doesn't mean they have given
up partying. And, as everyone knows, life doesn't begin until you are
sixty! Several times a week, these young-at-heart seniors meet up to
strut their stuff on the dance floor and try out their latest chat-up lines
on a suitable-looking victim. After all, dancing and flirting are what
keeps them young, and what's the point of being alive if you don't feel young?
Whilst there's pulse and breath in your lungs the dance goes on - and so
does the quest for love...
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
