Flashdance

Film Description

Jennifer Beals plays Alex, a young woman striving to achieve success as a classical dancer, but who has to work as a welder by day and an exotic dancer by night. Standing in the way of her goal is an abundance of profound social obstacles, not the least of which is her boss at the welding factory, Nick, who is also her boyfriend. Alex tries to get accepted into a prestigious ballet academy, and she is furious when she realizes that her boyfriend might be pulling strings for her behind the scenes. Along the road to self-discovery and independence, Alex also struggles to accept love, come to terms with her own stubbornness, and find the inner strength to turn her lofty dreams into reality. Edited for maximum rhythmic impact, Flashdance is full of glistening bodies and metallic surfaces, powered by Giorgio Moroder's throbbing music and one hit song after another.
