Step into a magical world with superstars Olivia Newton-John (Grease) and Gene Kelly (Singin’ in the Rain) as they take you through one of the most extraordinary musicals in the beloved film, Xanadu! Newton-John is Kira, a beautiful muse sent from up above to inspire a struggling artist (Michael Beck, The Warriors) and help motivate him to open a roller-disco. The dazzling soundtrack features ten original songs (five by Electric Light Orchestra’s Jeff Lynne and five by John Farrar), including such hits as “Magic,” “I’m Alive,” “All Over the World,” “Suddenly” and the title song “Xanadu.” And, reprising his role of nightclub owner Danny McGuire from 1944’s Cover Girl, Gene Kelly shines in what would become his final film performance. Throw on your roller-skates, turn up the volume and enjoy this sparkling out-of-this-world fantasy!

klassiker

Obwohl der Film verrissen wurde, finde ich gehört er zu den besten Filmen. Die Handlung über Träume, Phantasie, Mythologie und natürlich Liebe und dazu die super Musik von E.L.O., machen den Film zu einem Kult
sehr gut

Das ist ein Musical-Märchen! Das versteht halt nicht jeder!
Die Musik von Olivia Newton-John ist genial und legendär.
Das Märchen verträumt und süss.
Wer sich gern verzaubern lässt, ist mit diesem Film sicher gut beraten.
Schrott!!!

Mit diesem besch... Machwerk hat sich Michael Beck ("The Warriors", "Houston Nights") karriere-technisch selber ins Aus geschossen. Schade um diesen begnadeten Schauspieler.....und Finger weg von diesem Musical-Müll......
