The Dancer Upstairs

John Malkovich made his stunning directing debut with this ambitious political thriller set in Latin America about a detective who chases an elusive terrorist while reluctantly falling in love with a dancer. Javier Bardem and Laura Morante star as the leads along with an excellent cast and crew. Malkovich and writer Nicholas Shakespeare create a credible world with fully developed characters that's never out of sync that never predictable and full of excitement. Beautifully filmed on exotic locations and timely subject matter that's more relevant than ever. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
