With Australian director Baz Luhrmann’s new film, Elvis, in cinemas today, we thought it was time to take a decadent walk down a glittery memory lane, and raise a glass all thing Baz.
The original and, for lots of people, best in Luhrmann’s filmography, Strictly Ballroom gives the bizarre world of the Sydney ballroom scene the big-screen treatment – a romantic-comedy that tells the story of life-long ballroom dancer, and Prince of the ballroom scene Scott (Paul Mercucio) as he trains (and of course falls in love with) the frumpy and blundering Fran (Tara Morice), and eventually transforms her into the Belle of the Ballroom.
