Movies like Ginger and Fred

“Ginger and Fred (1986) is a 1980s European comedy-drama that stages ageing vaudeville allies against the mechanics of broadcast television. It frames the duet's brittle nostalgia as a conflict between private memory and public spectacle, using theatrical mise-en-scène and high-contrast lighting to make performance into a site of inquiry. The film argues that televised nostalgia restores craft even as it erodes individual identity.”
