Director Baz Luhrmann gives out love, song, and dance in the hyper-styled film Strictly Ballroom. Buena Vista/Miramax has done a fantastic job at making sure this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer appears solid and very clean. While a few imperfections exist (i.e., dirt, grain, digital artifacting), the bulk of this image looks natural and exceptionally bright and flashy. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English. This is a semi-well mixed soundtrack that features some directional use, though the bulk of the mix tends to come from only the front and center speakers without much dynamic range. Also included on this disc are English, French, and Spanish subtitles. Included on this first-ever DVD edition of Strictly Ballroom are some great extra features, starting with a commentary track by director Luhrmann, production designer Catherine Martin, and choreographer John O'Connell. Each participant has a lot to say on the making of the film while Luhrmann comes off as positively energetic. The documentary "Samba to Slow Fox" really has nothing to do with the film, instead focusing on competitive ballroom dancing in Australia. Next up are a group of short featurettes that touch on the different aspects of the film (narrated by Luhrmann) that include the film's production design, the promotional campaign, and some personal information on the director. Each of these run anywhere from 25 seconds to three minutes. Finally there is a gaggle of theatrical trailers for different Buena Vista DVDs.
