Alive in Body and Soul ? Alive & Kicking (aka, Indian Summer)

Pros Dance, expression of life.
Cons Too much focus on the girlfriend!
Recommended it? Yes

Dancing done right leaves no sound. Just heartbeats as both performers and the audience members alike fall into an artistic void where passion, sadness, happiness, and even closeness can be felt by the movement of the body alone.

Alive & Kicking

Love is the ultimate kick! "Alive and Kicking" is a lively romance between unlikely lovers--Tonio (Jason Flemyng), a narcissistic dancer pushing his body to artistic perfection, and Jack (Antony Sher), a therapist whose mind is more agile than his body. The mismatched pair stumble along the rocky path of commitment in a poignant, often hilarious, always believable portrayal of gay courtship in the new "Swinging London." "Alive and Kicking" is the first screenplay by noted playwright Martin Sherman (Bent) and the second feature to be directed by Nancy Meckler, whose debut film "Sister My Sister" won critical acclaim around the world.

Professional Reviews

(07/25/1997, p.C14, Stephen Holden): "...It goes further than most films in portraying the texture of an adult relationship. Mr. Flemying and Mr. Sher brilliantly evoke the power struggles, insecurities and conflicts of a passionate attachment..."
