Movies That Feature Deliberately Anachronistic Music, Inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’

House of Tolerance

Year – 2011

This is a small French film set in a Parisian brothel in the early 1900s.  While there is lots of nudity (it is about prostitutes after all) it’s not a “sexy” film.  It follows the lives of 12 women trapped in a sexual indentured servitude.

The closing scene of the film features “the girls” dancing with each other sans clientele.  But the dance isn’t one of joy but ennui; world-weary survivors struggling to find meaning or purpose.  Interestingly the choice of music is “Nights in White Satin” by The Moody Blues.
