It must be nearly 20 years ago that I saw this film on a VHS rental and fell in love with it. I agree with other reviewers that it's a solid 10, one of the best movies ever made. I don't agree that it requires a love for dancing, or even a great interest in music, although the music, songs and dancing are great. While the movie is set in a French dance hall, which contributes a very special kind of atmosphere, it really isn't just a movie about dancing by any means. The fact that it hasn't a single word of spoken dialogue may be seen by some as a gimmick, and perhaps one that's made DVD producers shy away from it. The only available DVD seems to be the very expensive version in European format. What a pity.
