The Dancer

Synopsis

With this lush costume drama, writer-director Stéphanie Di Giusto tells the true story of Loïe Fuller, an American dancer-choreographer, and her life and times in Belle Époque Paris. A creative trailblazer, Fuller was a pioneer of modern dance, theatrical costumes and lighting. She became the toast of the Folies Bergère, mixing with a crowd that included such artistic luminaries as Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin. Played by the uniquely-talented Soko, Fuller truly influenced modern aesthetics.
