Saturday Night Fever 4K 1977 THEATRICAL

Tony Manero is twenty years old, poor, uneducated, working as a paint store clerk, fighting with his father, but he knows that Saturday is coming, which means he's going back with his friends, the guys from the working class suburbs, to 'Odyssey 2000', where he will have a great time on the dance floor. There he is a God! The King. The idol. Friends admire him, women hang on his neck... But one day he meets Stephanie...

The young Travolta's body language at the club is unbelievable. And the gait in the opening shots, when he walks to 'Staying Alive' by the BeGees, is exemplary. It's the spirit of the 70s, the disco spirit, the spirit of youthfulness, sexiness, colorfulness!

The comedy develops into a social drama towards the end, leaving the main character on the verge of adulthood, when the ability to dance is not enough for success in life. The realization comes bitterly, and does the protagonist have enough strength and desire to break himself and break out of his circle...?
