Synopsis

In Adrian Lyne's FLASHDANCE, a young woman, Alex (Jennifer Beals), strives to achieve success as a classical dancer, but economic forces require her to work as a welder by day and an exotic dancer by night. Standing in her way is an abundance of profound social obstacles, not the least of which is her boss at the welding factory, Nick (Michael Nouri), who is also her boyfriend. Alex strives to be accepted into a prestigious ballet academy, and she is furious when she realizes that her boyfriend might be pulling strings for her behind the scenes. Along the road to self-discovery and independence, Alex also struggles to accept love, come to terms with her own stubbornness, and find the inner strength to turn her lofty dreams into reality. Edited for maximum rhythmic impact, FLASHDANCE is full of glistening bodies and metallic surfaces, powered by Giorgio Moroder's throbbing music and one hit song after another: Michael Sembello's 'Maniac', Karen Karmen's 'Manhunt', and, notably, Irene Cara's Oscar-winning theme song, 'Flashdance... What A Feeling'. FLASHDANCE marks the first coproduction between Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson, who geared the film toward the MTV generation.

Get ready to re-experience all the drama as Alex (Jennifer Beals) bravely fights her way out of the welding gear, off the stripper pole and onto the dance-school floor. Flashdance, the pop-culture phenomenon of the ’80s, is back and flashier than ever with brand new featurettes exploring the history, the look, the music and much more! Academy Award®-winner for Best Song, "Flashdance–What A Feeling," it’s the hit film that inspired a generation.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a feeling, 12 Oct 2009
By Four Violets (Hertford UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Can I really have first watched this 26 years ago? That's scary. It's the music that carries the story of a female welder whose secret passion is to become a "real" ballet dancer rather than the burlesque entertainer she is in her evenings. With the help of her boss and an old lady encouraging her ambition, there is little doubt as to the outcome. What struck me this time round was quite how unpleasant the female character was to her new boyfriend, how petulant and ungrateful, to the point of physically attacking him and his property when he annoys her. Okay, it's only a film, but perhaps we've moved on since 1983. I got a little bored during the song and dance routines; men are unlikely to. A classic, definitely.

I haven't got round to looking at the extras on the DVD yet. Perhaps they're for die-hard fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars A blast from the past, 13 April 2009
I watched this when I was a little younger, ok a lot younger. Loved it then. Bought it for my daughter and myself as we love dance films. I didn't check the rating having only remembered the fantastic moves. It is a 15 she is only 9 so she will have to wait a few more years. If you have never seen it and are of age or slightly older like myself, it really is a great film.
