Customer Reviews

For both fanatics and newcomers to Strictly Ballroom!

This book isn't a comprehensive behind the scenes book about the film, but it still has a lot to offer. Firstly, it has a summary of how the film came about, and, also, it includes the entire screenplay. You have to see the film first to really be able to understand the screenplay on its own. The screenplay on its own doesn't fall short by any means, but it you haven't seen the film, the more theatrical parts of the screenplay--the specifics wordings, and characterizations--might lead to confusion. The book also shows a lot of photos from the film. (I only wish they had shown more, as its helps capture the film's quality in the book, and why the film is so special.) It is a little book, but it is really good, and I recommand it to both film fanatics of Strictly Ballroom, as well as to newcomers who have yet to be introduced to the film.
