A talented, young getaway driver (Yes, his name is “B-A-B-Y, Baby” (Ansel<br />
Elgort). At least, that’s the name he gives people when asked, although he’s<br />
more often ignored. He’s the nearly silent getaway driver for a robbery syndicate<br />
managed by Doc (Kevin Spacey), who organizes the crime, hires three<br />
criminals, and then puts them in Baby’s car. You see, Baby can drive. But he<br />
needs music to do it. After a car accident as a kid left him with tinnitus, he<br />
spends the vast majority of his waking hours with ear buds in his ears to<br />
drown out the ringing. And the world around him moves to the music on one<br />
of his many iPods—he has various ones for different moods. Sometimes the<br />
world seems to respond to his choice, sometimes his choice seems to influence<br />
the world around him—either way, music is as essential to the success<br />
of “Baby Driver” as it was to “La La Land,” maybe more.<br />
Sleek, rhythmic, intricate and synced to the smallest of details. Baby Driver is<br />
the quintessential example of the formulaic beauty of music and film. Masterfully<br />
executed by Wright and a colorful and powerhouse cast of characters,<br />
the film is as dazzling as it is precise; making for a personal best as well as<br />
one of the best films of the year.<br />
From the editor<br />
This has been a bit of a rushed job so<br />
sorry if there are any typos or errors<br />
and if anything has been missed out. I<br />
have had a couple of days in hospital—all<br />
well now but my son Alan is<br />
in GHUHospital, not at all well. If anyone<br />
wants to send him a cheer up<br />
message he would love that, either on<br />
his facebook page or email him on<br />
narcos101@hotmail.com<br />
Others we can support are members<br />
Pam Marsh, Pam Hawthorne, Ian and<br />
Julie Young, Vanessa Bull, all of<br />
whom need our best wishes. Hope<br />
there are not too many others that I am<br />
unaware of but they too are in our<br />
thoughts.<br />

19th November<br />
5.50pm for 6.00pm<br />
Strictly Ballroom<br />
is a 1992 Australian<br />
romantic comedy<br />
film directed and co-written<br />
by Baz Luhrmann. The film,<br />
Luhrmann's début, is the first in<br />
his The Red Curtain Trilogy of<br />
theatre-motif-related films; it was<br />
followed by Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!.<br />
Strictly Ballroom is based on a critically acclaimed stage<br />
play originally set up in 1984 by Luhrmann and fellow students<br />
while he was studying at the National Institute of Dramatic<br />
Arts in Sydney. An expanded version of the play became<br />
a success at the Czechoslovakian Youth Drama Festival<br />
in Bratislava in 1986, and in 1988 it made successful<br />
season at Sydney's Wharf Theatre, where it was seen by<br />
Australian music executive Ted Albert and his wife Antoinette.<br />
They both loved it, and when Ted Albert soon after<br />
set up the film production company M&A Productions with<br />
ex-Film Australiaproducer Tristram Miall, they offered<br />
Luhrmann to transform his play into a film. He agreed on<br />
the condition that he would also get to direct it<br />
