A maverick dancer (Paul Mercurio) risks his career by performing an unusual routine and sets out to succeed with a new partner.
Although not the international sensation that "Moulin Rouge" or "Romeo and Juliet" are, there is definitely the fingerprints of Baz Luhrmann all over this. The music, of course, is very much Baz. But more so the colors. He apparently had to go the extra mile to get the Coca-Cola sign into the film, and it makes sense why he wanted it so badly: it is the very definition of what makes a Baz film: those bright, bold primary colors.
This will probably never be considered a classic, and it has probably become more obscure over the last decade rather than more well-known, despite Baz's success. But still.
