Australian romantic comedy film directed and co- written by Baz Luhrmann. The film, Luhrmann's début, is the first in his The Red Curtain Trilogy of theatre- motif- related films; it was followed by Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! Strictly Ballroom is based on a critically acclaimed stage play originally set up in 1. Luhrmann and fellow students while he was studying at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Sydney. An expanded version of the play became a success at the Czechoslovakian Youth Drama Festival in Bratislava in 1. Sydney's Wharf Theatre, where it was seen by Australian music executive Ted Albert and his wife Antoinette. They both loved it, and when Ted Albert soon after set up the film production company M& A Productions with ex- Film Australia producer Tristram Miall, they offered Luhrmann to transform his play into a film.[2] He agreed on the condition that he would also get to direct it.[3]Strictly Ballroom tells the story of an Australian ballroom dancer, Scott Hastings (Paul Mercurio), and his struggle to establish his personal style of dance on his way to win the Pan- Pacific Grand Prix Dancing Championship.

Scott's steps are not strictly ballroom. Scott comes from a family with a history of ballroom dancing and has been training since childhood.

Scott's mother Shirley teaches ballroom dancing, and his father Doug meekly handles maintenance chores at the dance studio. After losing a competition to a rival pair, because Scott started dancing his own steps, his dancing partner Liz Holt (Gia Carides) leaves him for the rival male, Ken Railings, after his partner Pam Short breaks both her legs in a car accident. With only weeks before the next Pan- Pacific competition, try- outs begin to find Scott a new dance partner but, unknown to his parents, Scott secretly begins rehearsing with frumpy outsider Fran (Tara Morice), a beginner dancer at his parents' studio. Scott is initially sceptical, but when Fran introduces pasodoble steps into their routine, Scott realises her potential. He walks her home one night and finds her Spanish family living in a tiny home next to the railway tracks, where Fran's family show him the authentic Spanish pasodoble style. As their rehearsals progress, Fran grows more attractive and self- confident. A few days before the Pan- Pacifics, Fran's family decide they are ready to dance pasodoble.

Scott and Fran are walking together and talking until they kiss, as they were already in love. When Scott returns to the dance studio, he finds Barry Fife, the conniving president of the Australian Dancing Federation who proceeds to tell him "the truth" about his parents, Doug and Shirley — they too were ballroom dancing champions, especially his father, until they lost the Pan- Pacific Grand Prix because of Doug's self- obsession and unorthodox dance steps. According to Barry losing the contest left Doug a broken man, sustained by the hope that one day his son would learn from his father's mistakes and win the Grand Prix. Scott is convinced to dance with Liz instead of Fran so he can win "for his father's sake". However, this is later revealed as a lie, part of Barry's plot to fix the competition so Scott and Liz will lose. Scott starts training with Liz, while a heart- broken Fran goes back to the beginners' class. At the Pan- Pacific Grand Prix, Scott's friend Wayne Burns and his partner Vanessa Cronin overhear Fife talking to Ken and his partner Tina Sparkle saying that they will win no matter what.

Wayne tells Les Kendall (Ken's coach, Doug and Shirley's friend and one of the judges) who then confronts Fife about it. Meanwhile, Doug finally manages to pull Scott aside and tells him the real story — Doug never danced at the competition because Barry convinced Shirley the only way to win was to dance the conventional steps with Les, but Shirley and Les lost the contest anyway. After hearing his father's revelation, Scott finds Fran and asks her to dance with him. Fife tries to cut the music and stop them from dancing but Scott's sister Kylie and her partner Luke (from the children's division) interfere until Fife's loyal companion Charm Leachman cuts the music.

Fife then disqualifies them, but Doug, along with Fran's family, claps out a beat which encourages Scott and Fran to "dance from the heart", drawing cheers from the crowd and tears of joy from Doug.

Doug asks Shirley to dance with him and the whole audience joins them on the floor. As the performance finishes, Scott and Fran kiss, the competition forgotten, as it was never about winning or losing. The film plays with clichés and stereotypes, mocking and embracing them at the same time.

Luhrmann has also commented that the film revolves around stories similar to David and Goliath, Cinderella and The Ugly Duckling. Star Trek: Nemesis Movie Watch Online. Production history[edit]The film version of Strictly Ballroom was developed from an original short play of the same name. It drew on Luhrmann's own life experience—he had studied ballroom dancing as a child and his mother worked as a ballroom dance teacher in his teens[4] and inspired by the life of Keith Bain (who grew up in the same town as Luhrmann).[5] While studying at NIDA in the early 1. Luhrmann and a group of fellow students devised a short comedy- drama set in the cutthroat world of competitive ballroom dancing.[2] This original 1. NIDA production was a critical success and, after graduating, Luhrmann was invited to re- stage the play for the Czechoslovakian Youth Drama Festival in Bratislava in 1. He invited his school friend Craig Pearce to help him rewrite and expand the script.

With its themes of artistic repression and underdogs battling against the odds, the play was a success at the festival, winning both the best director and best production awards.[2]This led Luhrmann to direct more theatre productions back in Australia, and in 1. Australian Bicentenary celebrations, the Sydney Theatre Company invited him to establish an experimental theatre ensemble, Six Years Old, which took up a residency at The Wharf Theatre for that year.[citation needed] Alongside Luhrmann and Pearce, the new company included one of the original NIDA collaborators, actor Catherine Mc. Clements, plus production designer Catherine Martin (whom Luhrmann subsequently married), set dresser Bill Marron and costume designer Angus Strathie, all of whom went on to collaborate with Luhrmann on his films. The group work- shopped the expanded version of play, which had a trial season at the Brisbane Expo in 1.

Wharf Studios on 2. September 1. 98. 8.[2]During its successful run at the Wharf, the play was seen by an influential Australian music executive. Ted Albert was a leading record producer and music publisher, best known in Australia as the discoverer and original producer of 1. The Easybeats. By the time he saw Strictly Ballroom, Albert was the managing director of his family- owned music publishing company Albert Music (formerly J. Albert & Sons) and its subsidiary, the highly successful record label Albert Productions, which scored a string of hits in the 1. John Paul Young and AC/DC. Albert's wife Antoinette (known as "Popsy") took him to see the play after seeing a newspaper ad; they loved the energy, colour and musicality of the play and Ted Albert immediately saw the potential to develop the play into a film using the musical resources available to him through Alberts' publishing and recording enterprises.
