Review of Strictly Ballroom (1992) by Simon R — 05 Jul 2008
Baz Luhrman's finest film to date. Nowhere near as fussy as his subsequent outings yet still packed with style and originality. Not only does this work as a grotesque satire of all those Boy meets Girl dance movies where the ugly duckling (and boy is she ugly) suddenly finds her white plumage but it also works as one of those movies in it's own right.
Under most circumstances this would jar horribly. But what we have here is perfect symbiosis. A feast for the senses!
