Following his directorial debut with the 1981 film Foxes, Adrian Lyne explores once again the life of a young girl and her friends trying to make their way in the world with his signature and often controversial soft-sleaze len. Initially received as an "all style, no substance" vehicle, modern audiences cannot deny that the movie showcases female comradery, audacity, and daring to dream in a male-dominated world. Starring the mesmerizing Jennifer Beals in her first major role as Alex, an ambitious young woman who is a Pittsburgh welder by day and a showstopping exotic dancer at night who dreams of being a professional ballerina. Along with an iconic pop soundtrack, MTV-style editing, and endless fashion- FLASHDANCE forever changed 80s pop culture.
