A Disappointing Continuation
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Enhanced,so to speak,by a horrible neodisco soundtrack by Cerrone,"Dancing machine" is a disaster,although the place -a dancing school-is an usually place for a thriller,the first one since Argento's "Suspiria"(1976)A former dancer (Delon) and his henchman (a sullen Patrick Dupont ,a danseur étoile)are making all it rough for their students,like the harshest of drill sergeants.Some of their (female) dancers mysteriously die ,and it might be crimes.The plot has nothing to recommend it yet:the killer's identity is so implausible,so illogical,so far-fetched that it ruins absolutely everything which came before -which was not much anyway,unless the numerous (all female)nudities count."He was certainly insane" says the cop :always the easy way out when you cannot bring a killer's motives .The authors of the movie were too.
View MoreThumbs down ! It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's not far. I wonder how two great French screen stars as Claude Brasseur and Alain Delon have come into such a stupid thing. It's all about dancing (and murder, of course), but the dancers, like Patrick Dupond, seem to pass by like ghosts. The screenplay is awful and never sticks to some kind of credibility.
