Northern Woe

FLASHDANCE - Uma jovem (Jennifer Beals) de garra e talento não mede esforços para realizar o sonho de se tornar uma bailarina. Para tanto, durante o dia ela trabalha como operária e à noite solta seu corpo no ritmo alucinante das discotecas.

It was the first collaboration of producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, and the presentation of some sequences in the style of music videos was an influence on other 1980s films inc"

"A steel mill welder by day, a sexy dancer by night, Alex (short for Alexandra) is on a mission to make her dreams come true. With a determination that's fierce, a boyfriend who's her boss , and a pit bull that likes to watch, she's out to prove that when it comes to living on a wire between will and what will be, she's a maniac, maniac. On the dance floor. Movies about moving your feet was a craze that was really hitting its stride in the 80's. Flashdance is one of those dance flicks. And yea"
