It's okay, although given that there's exactly one song, I question why they filed it under Musicals. But one thing's sticking with me: Leslie Caron's performance.
So, Tarantino fans, does Leslie Caron remind you of anyone?
So, instead of a magician or a puppeteer, she's latched onto a borderline sociopathic boxer with whom she's in a semi-abusive relationship. Hell, like Butch, Lili even has a watch that belonged to her father that's really important to her. I'd be legitimately surprised if Tarantino didn't have this film in mind when writing Fabienne.
Other than both of them being short, dark, and French, I'm not seeing it. I'm not entirely sure the 'watch' connection is particularly significant either, given the long tradition of watches being passed down in families.
