Le Bal

 is a 1983 Italian-Franco-Algerian film without


dialogue directed by Ettore Scola that represents
a fifty-year story of French society by way of a
ballroom in France.
The 50 year history of Europe happens in front
of you in one ballroom somewhere in Paris
where the same actors play the different
characters that live through their dances from
1930s to the 1980s as the time passes by and
politics, social behavior, and fashion change
with each new epoch.For less than two hours
we would go through the wars, peace, racial
conflicts, student riots of 1968 while Ettore
Scola's camera never leaves the ballroom.
Thank you for
attention
