Razzle Dazzle: A Journey Into Dance
- Director: Darren Ashton
- Starring: Ben Miller
- Details: Australia / 95mins (PG).
PREVIEW
One of the most successful Australian comedies of recent years (taking more than two million dollars at the box office), Razzle Dazzle, directed by Darren Ashton (Thunderstruck), is a mockumentary set in a competitive children's dance school run by Mr. Jonathan (Miller). Mr. Jonathan's troupe is up against the bitchy Miss Elizabeth's (Hall) school in the Sanosafe Troupe Spectacular, and pride and gloating rights are at stake. Throw some pushy parents (who foster children only to hand them back if they prove to be untalented), protocol, petty politics and 'creative differences' into the mix and Razzle Dazzle could be a winner.
