Chic-show

Begum Jaan takes the basic idea that private will and freedom has some relevance in the face of a public decision and stretches that idea into a chic-show of anarchy. And it’s this 'I am a punk, Oh yeahhh!' philosophy that the film then goes ahead and applies to its treatises about men and misogyny.
Is "chic-show" a compound noun made up of adj+noun and what does it mean?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. It appears to be exactly that.

chic ~ elegantly and stylishly fashionable

chic-show of anarchy suggests dressing up something messy (like anarchy) so that it looks presentable, even fashionable, putting a glossy shine on something inherently unattractive
