| This film made me a Baz
Luhrmann fan. It was just so campy, so funny, yet very warm
and heartfelt. Some of the dancing in the film is amazing to
watch.
Luhrmann has such a great eye for
characters and for color. The sets were designed by
Luhrmann's wife, Catherine
Martin, who went on to win an Academy Award for her production
design for Moulin Rouge.
They also worked together on the Broadway production of "La
Boheme" and they plan to bring Strictly Ballroom
to the Broadway stage in 2004. |
