Baz Luhrmann Quote
-
The Red Curtain requires some basics. One is that the audience knows how it will end when it begins, it is fundamental that the story is extremely thin and extremely simple - that is a lot of labour. Then it is set in a heightened, created world. Then there is a device - the heightened world of Strictly Ballroom, Verona beach. Then there is another device - dance or iambic pentameter or singing, and that`s there to keep the audience awake and engaged. The other thing is that this piece was to be a comic tragedy. This is an unusual form, there`s been a few goes at it - [like] Dancer in the Dark - but it`s not common in Western cinematic form.
