Strictly Ballroom

Director: Paul Mercurio
Year Released: 1992
Rating: 0.0

Senseless debacle from the Luhrmann School of Complete Excess, where Coca-Cola is blatantly plugged and "people" are replaced by one-dimensional non-entities. Basically Pygmalion set in the atmosphere of ballroom dancing; it isn't 'so goofy it's fun,' it's actually really painful. Paul Mercurio's one expression: pouting defiance.
