Finally watched a movie I'd been meaning to see for some time.
(75) Strictly Ballroom (1992): If there's one thing Baz Lurhmann knows how to do, it's tell a colorful tale. This film is set in an Australia where nothing but ballroom dancing matters. To be the Pan-Asian Champion is the goal of all goals. The movie is beautifully shot and marvelously acted. It's got a Broadway feel to it, and the over-the-top acting lends to this overall feel. The dancing is beautiful, the colors are vibrant, and the personalities are bigger than life. This is one of the few movies that totally predictable and totally engrossing from start to finish.
