Tournée (2010)

An old show producer Joachim Zand returns to his native France to face everything he has left behind including friends, family, and even his own children. He tours with his troupe of burlesque dancers for a country-wide tour with the grand final show in Paris but as tour progresses old conflicts and issues flare up and many of the troupe can't wait for the tour to end. Meanwhile a betrayal by some people from Joachim's past throws a spanner in the works as they struggle to reach their final destination.

On Tour written, directed by, and starring Mathieu Amalric premiered in competition at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival where it was awarded the FIPRESCI Award for best film as selected by critics and the Prix de la mise en scène, the award for Best Director. It is also nominated for 7 awards including Best Film and Best Director at the 36th Annual Cesar Awards.

It is an intelligent, funny, sexy and immensely enjoyable feature that follows Almaric's American Neo-Burlesque troupe, played wonderfully by a cast of real life burlesque dancers, as they make their tour of France. Also the film was beautifully shot by cinematographer Christophe Beaucarne (Outside the Law) realistically capturing the many different locations along the tour.

On Tour is a gloriously elusive film. Temperamentally it's as happy-go-lucky as the burlesque troupe, though a turbulent undercurrent of regret and self-doubt often blisters the surface.

This emotional perpetual-motion is probably the most consistent element of the film. The titillation of the performances rely on the fleeting moment, glimpses offered then cut off. Similarly the camera-work is invariably in some sort of motion, often hand-held, looking from a large number of different perspectives. The frame of shot and depth of field focus also act to beckon the imagination where the eye cannot go. Other characters along the way are fickle too - a gas station attendant, or a just- married couple who cannot sustain a fixed grin in the way the troupe girls can.

So it's a very adult film. The eddies of life's disappointments are the main tension of the film, its principal drama. Yet no-one tries to uncover another's source of disquiet. Everything is laid bare. A running joke is Joachim's irritance with piped music, the sonic junk that's designed to distract from the abyss (ironically, the one song escaping his censure, performed by one of the girls, is a typically introspective Radiohead song). There's no prying as to what's in that abyss, in the same way that there's no worthy-but-pointless digression concerning the size and shape of the women. Fury and tenderness blast out from unexpected moments but are then gone again with neither apology nor explanation. This is a true documentation of existential collateral: like the black dog with a lead in its mouth poised for a walk, occasionally barking for attention. I found it disarmingly real, charming, sexy, dry and without pity.
