Fame (1980)
Zeven lessen per dag en een warme maaltijd. Dat is het strenge regime van New York City's High School for the Performing Arts. Keihard werken is aan de orde van de dag en roem is een verre droom voor de tientallen sterren in spe; muzikanten, acteurs en dansers, die zich aan de Fame Academy inschrijven. En dan zijn er ook nog de alledaagse beslommeringen van het leven en de liefde. Regisseur Alan Parker (Evita, The Commitments) leverde met Fame andermaal een bruisende muziekfilm af die de levens van vier studenten op de voet volgt en hun successen en ontgoochelingen op sublieme wijze door elkaar weeft. Het kleur- en klankrijke spektakel, dat zes Oscarnominaties en twee Oscars voor soundtrack en titelsong in de wacht sleepte, lanceerde o.a. de carrières van Irene Cara, Paul McCrane (ER) en Barry Miller (Saturday Night Fever). Fame is lichtvoetig en diepgaand tegelijk, met schitterende choreografieën en de muziek die intussen een moderne klassieker is geworden.
