Dancing Machine (1990)
Directed by Gilles Béhat

Thriller

Film Synopsis

Alan Wolf runs a dance school with an almost tyrannical fervour, aided by his assistant Chico.  Once, Wolf was a highly regarded dancer, but a motorcycle accident brought an abrupt end to his career, as well as killing his partner.  When one of his students dies during a class, Wolf's ex-wife Ella Cebrian suspects that she may have been murdered.  She alerts her neighbour, Inspector Michel Éparvier, but he is sceptical.  After Wolf has sent two more of his students to a premature grave, Éparvier's initial doubts begin to evaporate.  Ella's subsequent death would suggest that Wolf is on a killing spree.  But are things really what they seem...?
