This is one of the most overlooked films of the 1980s.  An absolute masterpiece, Absolute Beginners attempted the impossible:  to single-handedly revive the Hollywood musical, and from England, no less!  While, clearly, it did not achieve the impossible, you can, if you try, trace a line from this film that goes slowly-but-surely, step by step, straight through to Moulin Rouge, and, more recently, Across the Universe and a generally more favorable environment for flashy, spectacular cinéma entertainments that, Lord knows, we could all use more of these days.  This is a film where, clearly, everyone involved gave their all, and everything fell into place, just right.  Click on the box to read our full length review.
