In my recently taught NYU/CALA course on the history and cultural significance of the cabaret art form (Life is A Cabaret, Spring 2021), I presented the students with an excerpt from the French movie, Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974). The excerpt, briefly introduced by me via ZOOM, shows a scene in which the character Julie, played by Dominique Labourier, auditions for a couple of producers in a small Montmartre cabaret and delivers what is effectively a complete deconstruction of the genre.
