context_page_description: On Tour is a 2010 internationally co-produced comedy-drama film directed by Mathieu Amalric. It stars Amalric himself as a producer who brings an American Neo-Burlesque troupe to France, played by genuine performers Mimi Le Meaux, Kitten on the Keys, Dirty Martini, Julie Atlas Muz, Evie Lovelle and Roky Roulette. In a road movie narrative, the plot follows the troupe as they tour French port cities with their show, which was performed for actual audiences during the production. The inspiration for the film was a book by Colette about her experience from music halls in the early 20th century, and a part of Amalric's aim was to translate the sentiment of the book to a modern setting.
  The film premiered at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival where it won the FIPRESCI Award, the festival's main prize from film critics. Amalric also received the Best Director Award.
context_section_description: On Tour premiered on 13 May at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival as the first film to be screened in the main competition. At the press conference following the screening, Amalric talked about how excited the performers were about the festival: "It’s the opposite of what happens in our movie. In the story, they were promised Paris, and got nothing. But in this story, they were promised nothing, and they’re all at Cannes".
  The French theatrical premiere followed on 30 June through Le Pacte, who launched it on 159 screens. On Tour had an attendance of 172,154 during the first week and thereby entered the French box office chart at number five. One week later the number of prints had been increased to 275 and the film climbed one position. After two months at the box office, the film had a total of 479,000 admissions in France. The U.S. premiere was scheduled for 5 May 2011 as the closing night film of the 54th San Francisco International Film Festival.
