The accomplished, emotionally-engaging cin\u00e9ma-v\u00e9rit\u00e9 narrative, in which most of Angelique\u2019s immediate family members play themselves, plunges us into the somewhat seedy world of nightclub hostesses whose job is to seduce customers into buying pricey drinks. Now on the verge of retirement, Angelique begins to realize that the party\u2019s almost over and maybe it\u2019s time to settle down. Yet, even when the perfect solution falls into her lap, she struggles with her inherent need for independence and her longing for fulfillment.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/ondemand\/partygirlfilm\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PARTY GIRL | 2015 &#8211; 95&#8242; &#8211; Drama &#8211; Co-Written and Co-Directed by\u00a0Marie Amachoukeli, Claire Burger and Samuel Theis.
