The most international film, 14 December 2007
10/10
Author: romano444 from Brazil

This film it is only with music, no words and tens of characters. The same artist makes 3,4,5 roles. Each time I see this movie, I cry and laugh, I get convinced that Scola is a genius. A brilliant script, a conception very original, and many surprises in most of the scenes. I highlighted Marc Berman, Nani Noël, the Penchenat and Anita Pichiarini. What Ettore Scola made with this film should be repeated with all mankind. It is the world united by ball dance, popular music and not with words. What count are the ideas. Here in Brasil, the DVD of "Le Bal" still sells very well and is one of the most expensives. I wish that "Thêàtre du Campagnol" ever and ever have a success. Congratulations to all technicians for this magnificent spectacle.
