The acclaimed 1992 comedy movie Strictly Ballroom was director Baz Luhrmann’s first film, before he wowed audiences with the visually stunning Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge! and Australia.
The romance follows maverick dancer Scott Hastings (Paul Mercurio, TV’s Adrenalin Junkies) who risks his career by bringing on a new, unknown partner (Tara Morice, TV’s Dance Academy) and performing an unusual routine.
Based on an idea by Luhrmann, the movie was co-written by the director and Craig Pearce, Luhrmann’s writing partner on Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!.
Strictly Ballroom was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Comedy/Musical.
On Blu-ray, the independent film comes with these special features:
- featurette “Strictly Ballroom: From Stage to Screen”
- featurette “Samba to Slow Fox Dance”
- deleted scene
- design gallery with narration
- audio commentary with Lurhmann, production designer Catherine Martin and choreographer John “Cha Cha” O’Connell.
This disc is the movie’s high-definition debut, but Strictly Ballroom was released on Blu-ray overseas earlier.
