Overview

A young woman from the American Midwest, Loïe Fuller became the toast of the Folies Bergère at the turn of the 20th century and an icon of the Belle Epoque. Inventor of the breathtaking Serpentine Dance, she was a pioneer of modern dance and lighting techniques. It was her complicated relationship to her protégé - Isadora Duncan – that precipitated the downfall of this early 20th century icon.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A luminous portrait of artistic ambition and erotic obsession in Belle Epoque Paris, told through the lens of a woman consumed by her own greatness and the protégé who threatens it. The film moves with the fluid grace of dance itself, but carries an undercurrent of jealousy and decline.
