Paris Pieds Nus / Lost in Paris (2016 Abel & Gordon & scr)

Husband and wife Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon are planted in the world of burlesque and inspired by Tati, Keaton and Chaplin, and the characters' bodies are expressive and almost cartoon-like, typified particularly by the sinuous dance on board 'Maxim's' to the Gotan Project. The Couple are the couple, accompanied by Emmanuelle Riva and Pierre Richard. It's a bit like a strange and defiantly quirky mash-up of Amélie and Zazie Dans le Metro.

It's another bad translation - the original is 'Paris Barefoot'.

Totally original, bizarre and a lots of fun.
