French Cancan (1955)
French Cancan is a love letter to Montmartre and the birth of the Moulin Rouge, reviving the spirit of Belle Époque Paris. Renoir’s film reintroduced the French musical to world cinema, while Rene Gruau’s poster became an emblem of mid-century French style — theatrical, seductive, and effortlessly chic. Original posters from this release, especially those featuring Gruau’s artwork, are highly coveted for their artistic and cinematic heritage.
A stunning original French poster for French Cancan, directed by cinema legend Jean Renoir and starring Jean Gabin, Françoise Arnoul and Maria Félix.
