Santi's


More than just a heist, Le Cercle Rouge touches on issues of gender. Of course the aesthetic decor and imagery of Santi's nightclub, the swinging musical score all create the right ambiance.

More than this it categorises the woman's place as an object, or rather a sexual object on stage performing, and serving drinks. It is the only other place in the film where women are mostly portrayed. As well as the only scene we see Corey interact, acknowledge, and perhaps rekindle a desire for women.
Below the small gesture of accepting the rose from the waitress shows that perhaps he is no longer rejecting the opposite sex.
