I agree - I find the performances spot on. John Savage is weird at the best of times, but his work here is terrific.
As I have mentioned, I've never seen the original stage production, but to me this films works thanks to a lot of it being shot on the streets and using dynamic camera movement...
This has always been a favourite of mine. I think Milos Forman did a great job turning this into a film. Sure, I've never seen a stage version, but it works as a film for me. The Twyla Tharpe dancers are great. The music is impeccably performed. The ending is incredibly moving.
Do we know of...
