High Strung - Ao Ritmo do Sonho

I got to this film completely by accident and I have to say that I didn't have such a sweaty ass after the end of a movie, even after Evil Dead, and a t-shirt wet from tears! The film is incredibly vivid, motivating, inspiring, moving, modern, romantic and in one big word breathtaking. There are no well known actors, the entire film is made up of people who are extremely talented in both dance and music and all the numbers put all the dance films of the last 40 years to shame. The finale features a triple combo of ballet, violin and hip-hop, definitely one of the best I've seen in a long time. Also worth mentioning is the battle on the Metro or with the waiters at the celebration. A great show for young people. Too bad the film doesn't have an extra hour. I enjoyed it immensely. 85%.

It's a somewhat romantic - fortunately not overly romantic - dance classic, but because SHE is a dancer and HE is a violinist, it gains a bit of a fresh perspective. The connection between the violin and dance is captured quite well here; it's modern, lively, and interesting even for those who aren't typically fans of the violin. (05/05/2016)
