A disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2012)

I have always heard about this film but had never watched it until now. I was maybe expecting too much but, anyway, all I really enjoyed is the dance scenes and the theme, which are both excellent and cult. Apart from that, I was not moved at all by the love intrigue which does not add anything particularly transcendent to the movie, in my opinion. What i liked, however, is the constant tension between femininity and masculinity throughout the whole movie. Even though the movie is not clearly feminist, the way it depicts women's role in Society sparks-off a slightly feminist undertone at times : female characters are definitely struggling with males' tendency to dominate, which may explain the sometimes "manly" attitude of the protagonist.
