Strictly Ballroom (Film Review) — Classic That Deserves Its Revival When Baz Luhrmann arrived on the film scene with Strictly Ballroom, an adaptation of a play he had been involved with and had staged back in 1984, there were no expectations. The film had its world premiere at Cannes in 1992 as part of Un Certain Regard and was an instant hit with the audience. It went on to become one of the most successful films in Australia of all time, as well as forming a legacy for Luhrmann as he continued making his Red Curtain trilogy and cemented himself as one of the most commercially successful directors to come out of Australia. https://filmhounds.co.uk/2026/05/29/strictly-ballroom-film-review-classic-that-deserves-its-revival/
