Many Australian movies use the theme of communication issues (think "Walkabout", "Picnic at Hanging Rock", "Crocodile Dundee"). Some people might question whether or not "Strictly Ballroom" belongs in that group, but I would say that it does. You see, dancing is a form of physical communication, and so the characters here get to know each other that way.
But even ignoring that, it's a pretty fascinating movie. Baz Luhrmann was certainly showing the sorts of things that he would later bring to "Romeo + Juliet" and "Moulin Rouge!".
Starring Paul Mercurio, Tara Morice, Bill Hunter, Barry Otto and Gia Carides.
