If you're (a) at work, (b) of sensitive disposition, or (c) very young, this clip from Mathieu Amalric's new musical road movie **On Tour **probably isn't for you. We had to watch it with a responsible adult - not as straightforward as it sounds in these parts - and will only say that it packs enough saucery to make Sid James' head explode.
Directed by Amalric, On Tour is a modern updating of a book by French novelist Colette. Her experiences of the seemier side of French life also formed the basis of Vincente Minnelli's multi-Oscar-winning musical Gigi, although this one looks a bit lighter on the love story and a lot heavier on the nipple tassles.
Click below to watch the clip, in which one of impresario Joachim Zand's (Amalric) band of American burlesque dancers performs in a French nightclub. If it feels authentic, that's because it is: all of the dancers are actual burlesquers and the scenes were shot in front of real audiences.
Watch out too for a cameo from The Addams Family's Thing. You can see On Tour when it's released in cinemas on December 10, or, if you don't fancy braving the cold, stream it on the same day via Curzon's new On Demand service.
