Cast: Jennifer Beals, Michael Nouri, Lilia Skala
We’re celebrating (all the good stuff) from the 80s with a new 40th Anniversary 4K HD restoration of Flashdance that shimmers on the big screen! Jennifer Beales is unforgettable as a Pittsburgh welder-by-day, exotic dancer by night, who has all of the chops but none of the advantages or connections to succeed. With mixed emotions, she falls for factory owner Nick (Michael Nouri), who gets her an audition with the elite Pittsburgh Conservatory of Dance. But will they embrace her unconventional mix of ballet, acrobatics, and break dancing? The Academy and Grammy Award-winning soundtrack will get your body moving with the music of Joan Jett (“I Love Rock and Roll”), Michael Sembello (“Maniac”) and Irene Cara’s hit “Flashdance…What a Feeling.” “The dance sequences are electrifying, and by a song both to die for and live up to.” Eye For Film UK
