On Tour written, directed by, and starring Mathieu Amalric premiered in competition at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival where it was awarded the FIPRESCI Award for best film as selected by critics and the Prix de la mise en scène, the award for Best Director.  It is also nominated for 7 awards including Best Film and Best Director at the 36th Annual Cesar Awards.

It is an intelligent, funny, sexy and immensely enjoyable feature that follows Almaric's American Neo-Burlesque troupe, played wonderfully by a cast of real life burlesque dancers, as they make their tour of France.  Also the film was beautifully shot by cinematographer Christophe Beaucarne (Outside the Law) realistically capturing the many different locations along the tour.

This definitely looks better than the asinine Christina Aguilera crapola that's jogging around these days.
