FFR 279: Strictly Ballroom
from Feminist Frequency Radio Hosted by Feminist Frequency
It was tough to pick which Baz Luhrmann movie to include in our Summer "Camp" season, but ultimately went back to the beginning, with his 1992 filmmaking debut. And right out the gate, his style is already so well-defined. Throwing sequined spaghetti at the walls, he combines classic sports movie tropes with mockumentary and melodrama to make something that lets you completely in on the joke and still wins you over at the end. Discussed in this episode: Baz waylaid by a TikToker, the comedic figure skating docuseries I Have Nothing, "Tan with You" from RPDR S7, Baz DJing Find Kat: katexmachina.substack.com letterboxd.com/katexmachina Find A.C.: letterboxd.com/aclamberty instagram.com/aclamberty Find Us: Our Website Subscribe to FFR on Apple Podcasts Twitter Instagram Letterboxd bsky.app/profile/femfreq.bsky.social
