zouzou , a black girl , and jean , a white boy , are displayed as twins in the side show of a circus . as adults zouzou ( josephine baker ) and jean ( jean gabin ) still regard themselves as sister and brother . jean is a seaman , and zouzou works in a laundry . zouzou loves to sing and dance for her friends at the laundry but has no thought of a theatrical career . after jean is arrested for murder , zouzou needs money for his defense . at a theater , she displays her singing and dancing talents to the impresario who immediately hires her . her…
it ' s the achievement of ' ' princess tam tam ' ' to catch and preserve - within a conventional film - something of the star ' s singular grace , energy and frequently self - mocking humor . the film , which is being shown here in a fine new print , is double - billed with miss baker ' s 1934 vehicle , ' ' zouzou .

sly nods to baker’s infamous “banana dance , ” a camera that tends to introduce her via reflection when she is “performing” , and costuming that gets gradually more parisian as the film progresses , keep zouzou framed as a film as much about baker as about the fictional character . this is a woman who was accused of being more sexual than progressive and who’s tabloid - actions dominated her life . while the film isn’t as promiscuous as one might imagine , baker – the real woman – is very much at the heart of it .
the film follows the life story of a young black woman from her childhood in a circus to adult success in the musical theater .

there’s more to allegret’s film than simple wish - fulfillment . counter to your 42nd streets and golddiggers of 1933s , the musical numbers in this film solve very little ( if anything ) , and are instead showpieces only . zouzou’s ultimate number – a sultry “haiti” which is at once nostalgic of anything - but - paris and emblematic of the whimsy and fantasy of that city – rivals a hayworth or dietrich in its star - making moment . sitting inside a huge cage on the stage ( the cage a nod to the birds zouzou frees from their cages earlier in the film ) she sings , scantily clad , about unrequited love and a desire for a lost land . though she gets the fame here , she doesn’t get the guy , and sing as she might , the film seems to indicate , she’ll still be a caged bird on display in paris rather than a free bird in manila or haiti .
' the film enchants me . . . . everything seems easy , because i feel the story so very strongly . it all seems so real , so true , that i sometimes think it ' s my own life being played out on the sets ' ( josephine baker discussing her appearance in zouzou )
the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…
throughout
zouzou ,
you sense that film was not baker ' s bag , that the lack of impulsive creativity must have dampened much of the charm she brought to the more spontaneous stage environment . but those last images at least give a glimmer of what she was and what the fuss was all about .
it’s the rare jean gabin film for me where he’s not the main draw . his major period , which would begin 2 years after zouzou with renoir’s the lower depths in 1936 , all the way through his final films in the 1970s , is littered with major hits . but in marc allegret’s zouzou , it’s josephine baker that demands all the attention . her filmography is about 1 / 9 the size of gabin’s , but this vehicle ( advertised as “baker talks” ! ) made her more the star than she already was .
my first josephine baker film and a fine romance . theres even murder involved , lord knows why . pleasant and innocuous until the end , it then disturbs with a gutpunch of loneliness .
baker ' s popularity was so huge that her handlers began looking for a larger stage than the risque parisian theaters where she strutted . in 1934 , partly because baker was curious about movies but mostly to capitalize on her fame , filming for
zouzou
began . the picture can be seen friday night at golden west college as the
international film
series ends .
ouzou and jean , two orphans , are raised as brother and sister by circus artiste père mélé . many years later , they live together in paris , zouzou working as a laundress , jean as an electrician for a musical theatre , the folies . as zouzou pines for jean , he only has eyes for her fellow worker , claire . when jean is mistakenly arrested for attacking a man in the street , zouzou realises she needs money urgently to pay for a defence lawyer . she gets herself employed as the star attraction at the folies , replacing a famous dancer - singer who has just absconded to join her lover in brazil . overnight , zouzou becomes a sensation , but will she be in time to save her beloved jean . . . ?
instead of disgracing herself , as her enemies had hoped , she brings down the house . this is one of those rare occasions when a performance within a film matches the acclaim given it by the audience on the screen .
what the audience is waiting for , of course , is for baker to take center stage in some huge production number . and that ' s just what you get as
zouzou
strolls toward its grand finale .
the plot is simple , though it doesn’t follow all of the regular structure of a typical hollywood backstage musical . baker is zouzou and gabin is jean . growing up in a carnival atmosphere as part of the “freak show” ( where freak implies interracial brother and sister ) , they eventually move to paris where jean gets a job as an electrician at a local theater . zouzou realizes her love for him is more than sisterly , but he , in standard gabin tough - guy fashion , is either ignorant of her affection or just doesn’t return it . zouzou is accidentally discovered by the theater producers and at the same time , jean is wrongly accused of murder .
with its expressionist lighting – particularly a scene at a bar and laundromat – that anticipates the noir - poetic realist hybrid of carne and renoir , zouzou is a standout cinematically and narratively . director allegret uses some bold match cuts , elaborate blocking , and montage - driven cross - cuts to stage his action . one particular moment , where allegret cuts between zouzou singing in the laundromat where she works and the current star of the musical barbara ( ill meery ) singing the same song on - stage is particularly effective , demonstrating how place can negatively affect passion ( ie performance ) and anticipating zouzou’s inevitable rise to stardom ( as if the title weren’t enough of a hint ) .
josephine baker shines in this film , which features a sometimes befuddling plot . this is fine , since baker is the real attraction here . she ' s a magnetic performer , and one whose career i ' m very excited to explore further .
the match cuts and time compressions that allegret uses here – from a toy ship to a real ship ; from jean in jail to jean in paris ; from zouzou singing to barbara singing ; from a poster of barbara to a poster of zouzou – all imply a change for each character ( wish fulfillment ) , but remains male - dominated . it is jean whose wishes are fulfilled . he gets to ride a ship , go to paris , and leave with the woman he loves . each of these moments is implied via the match cut / time compression . it’s zouzou whose wishes are only partially fulfilled , where the match cuts surrounding her character are more to move to the obligatory musical number than to solve anything narratively .
zou zou is a creole laundress , brought up in the circus along with her foster brother , jean . she yearns for a life onstage , and longs for the love of jean , who falls for her best friend . zouzou manages to save jean from a false…
once jean is on land , the everyday events ( zouzou gets a job in a laundry but frequents the playhouse where jean works as a stage manager ) are mundane and static . zouzou ' s love is frustrated as jean falls for one of her friends , and that ' s about it as far as conflict goes in carlo rim ' s screenplay . but every now and then , baker gets moments to show off her comic flair , especially the mix of physicality ( an eccentric , akimbo dancing ) and a gamin ' s innocence .
as children , zouzou and jean are paired in a traveling circus as twins : she ' s dark , he ' s light . after they ' ve grown , he treats her as if she were his sister , but she ' s in love with him . in paris , he ' s a music hall electrician , she ' s a laundress who delivers clean underwear to the hall . she introduces him to claire , her friend at work , and the couple fall in love . jean conspires to get the show ' s star out of town and for the theater manager to see the high - spirited zouzou perform . when jean ' s accused of murder and zouzou needs money to mount his defense , she pleads to go on stage . her talents may save the show , but can anything save her dream of life with jean ?
of course baker is top - billed , but check out that image . it’s a bit racist in a “savage” kind of way , and is actually more concerned with representing baker’s banana dance , which makes its way into the film only indirectly , than it is with anything plot - related .
would be just another run - of - the - mill musical melodrama struggling to imitate its american cousin . even with baker giving it all she has , much of the film is a chore to sit through , and it only comes to life when its star begins doing what she does best , dancing and singing with the raw energy of a typhoon .
when
zouzou
came out in 1935 , st . louis - born josephine baker was a cultural phenomenon in france , her adopted country . she was a song - and - dance comedienne with an appeal both exotic and common . by making the most of her talents , and by generating sparks through expert image - making , baker was the madonna of her day , the queen of the demimonde .
we ' re first introduced to baker after seeing her character , zouzou , as a pretty little girl who lives with the carnival and is entranced by the image she sees in a hand mirror . soon , she ' s all grown up and eager for her childhood companion , jean ( the great jean gabin , looking uncomfortable and mildly confused here ) , whom she loves , to return from his life as a sailor .
from tcm zou zou ( 1934 ) the french film zou zou ( 1934 ) is a rare opportunity to see one of the great african - american entertainers of the 20th century . josephine baker , known primarily as a singer / dancer on the stage , cabaret , and music halls , made only a handful of films , and zou zou was her personal favorite , the closest , she said , to whom she was in real life .
a film to exploit the popularity of the ' creole ' cabaret artist josephine baker . and she is the light driving this . sadly there is not much else making it interesting then to see the famous lady do a rare movie project . jean gabin is more or less anonymous and the plot . . . . not sure that was . baker is a cleaner and ends up in a show singing about haiti . . . . and some random situations happens without much context .
because of baker ' s significance in france ,
zouzou
is historically intriguing , one of the few documents of a rare career . as art , though , it ' s only a curiosity , a footnote in french cinema . even as entertainment , it ' s sporadic , with little dramatic push and only the barest of a plot contrived to set up baker ' s few spotlighted scenes . but we do get to see baker perform , and that ' s something .
directed by : blandine lenoir produced by : local films genre : fiction - runtime : 1 h 21 min french release : 24 / 12 / 2014 production year : 2012 a large house in the countryside . solange , in her sixties , her three daughters agathe , marie and lucie , and her 14 - year - old granddaughter , zouzou , get together for a few days . it ' s an opportunity for solange to tell them some great news : she ' s got a new man in her life . about time ! so , does sexuality get mentioned ? or is it like politics , and not a word is said ? more info : urltoken
most of this is simple performance shots – keeping baker framed in a fairly uninteresting way so as to focus on the song and her body . the end , where she swan dives out , is a freeing moment , but it’s worth noting that when we see her in the cage next , there’s no such exit ( freedom all but gone ) . this is another way that zouzou runs counter to the warner bros . musicals at the time . whereas this should naturally be the end – woman jumps out of cage , gets man , roll credits – it’s not . it’s a faux - ending , one that gives the catharsis one expects from this genre , but then recants it in the end .
allegret sprinkles other nice elements throughout : the bumbling producers , framed by the empty theater seats as if to anticipate the empty house come show - time ; the busby berkeley - like overhead numbers , with hilarious set pieces like giant beds and combs ( domesticity ? or just a notion for the absurd ) ; multiple animal references ( birds , dogs , jaguars ) that are as much about human vs . animal in a freedom - sense , as they rhyme with the derogatory language used to occasionally refer to zouzou ( savage , cannibal ) ; a roaming camera that frequently dollies , frames on windows , and pans in to start scenes , as though as interested in the surroundings and the movement of a bustling city and scene as it is in the characters themselves .

this is the 1935 french comedy starring josephine baker , the st . louis - born dancer who , in the mid - 1920 ' s , became one of france ' s greatest cabaret stars . when she died in 1975 after suffering a stroke , miss baker was just four days into the run of a new paris revue celebrating her 50 years as an entertainer . her funeral service was held in the church of the madeleine .
movies were only an occasional diversion for miss baker , who , as a black performer , was far more highly regarded abroad than she was at home , at least until near the end of her career . she was a stunning - looking woman who wasn ' t conventionally beautiful . her face was too round and the chin too small for her to succeed simply as an exotic femme fatale .
nevertheless , she managed to parlay her considerable assets as a dancer , singer and comedienne into a remarkable career . her flamboyant personality was best expressed in her cabaret appearances in which , when she started out , she wore as little as the law allowed , mostly bananas or feathers .
in ' ' princess tam tam , ' ' miss baker , as alwina , a saucy bedouin beggar , catches the eye of max , a blocked french novelist who has come to tunis to live among ' ' the savages ' ' and find inspiration for a new book . the charmed max decides to write a novel about alwina , in which he acts as pygmalion to her galatea .
having taught alwina how to walk , speak and dress like a lady , max accompanies her to paris , where he introduces her as ' ' princess tam tam from india . ' ' his principal purpose is to make his wife jealous , but alwina , with her couture wardrobe and ingenuous manners , becomes the toast of paris .

on this fairly primitive frame , written by pepito abatino ( miss baker ' s husband at the time ) , edmond t . greville , the director , constructed a lighthearted entertainment that well serves the star . the star also somehow manages to serve it and to send it up at the same time . she ' s a delight , especially in two of her musical numbers .
in one , she takes over the floor of a low - life sailors ' bar to sing and dance with an abandon that thoroughly shocks the society snobs who have dropped in to slum . in the other , having been plied with drink during a paris ball , she can ' t deny the beat of the tom - toms . again princess tam tam makes a spectacle of herself doing what comes naturally .
she tears off most of her clothes and leads the orchestra and chorus in a big , hilarious production number that owes a lot to hollywood ' s busby berkeley . she jumps , slides , shakes her shoulders and swings her hips , using her bare arms and legs to describe primitive passions that supposedly set her audience free .

struggles to hold its ramshackle plot together but it is nonetheless compelling viewing , thanks to the presence of its charismatic star , here partnered with one of the great icons of french cinema , jean gabin . without the endlessly fascinating baker ,
director marc allégret makes a good stab at emulating the big budget song - and - dance musicals that were being churned out in hollywood at the time , but lacking both experience and anything approximating to flair when it comes to staging musical numbers his efforts are seldom entirely successful . compared with the grand set - pieces choreographed by the great busby berkeley in such films as
( 1933 ) , allégret ' s efforts look pretty feeble , and most fail to take full advantage of josephine baker ' s breathtaking vitality . baker was a reasonably capable actress , but singing and dancing were her forte . with baker giving her all in a stand - out erotic dance sequence and some show - stopping songs ,
is ultimately saved , but when you consider how few films this legendary performer appeared in you can ' t help thinking this was a missed opportunity .

star vehicles , those usually flimsy movies designed to put some celebrity ( such as madonna ) on the screen so fans have a 10 - foot image to adore , are nothing new . hollywood , not known for missing commercial opportunities when they come along , has been doing it for years .
as for these last chorus line shots , it ' s clear that busby berkeley was the inspiration . the peculiar choreography and fanciful props ( the dozens of dancers step through a giant bedroom complete with girl - sized telephones ) are berkeley knockoffs but , unfortunately , performed without the panache he insisted on .
still , it ' s captivating when the camera finally settles on baker , done up only in feathers and singing while perched high in a bird cage . she appears almost magical under the soft lighting , a strange , glowing creature with a tiny but passionate voice .
where : golden west college ' s forum ii theater , 15744 golden west st . , huntington beach .
whereabouts : take the san diego ( 405 ) freeway to golden west street and head south to the campus .
here ' s a vehicle for the utterly unique french / american singer and exotic dancer josephine baker as a laundress who replaces a temperamental performer in a stage revue and captivates the crowd in a star - making turn while at the same tame loving her childhood friend jean gabin , a sailor turned electrician who only has eyes for another .
i can ' t believe she gets discovered while doing the gangnam style . . .
