Art In Its Highest Form
'Footloose'
July 1, 20:00 at Bíó Paradís, Hverfisgata 54 (E5) Admission: 1,600 ISK
A young Kevin Bacon plays a teen from Chicago who’s forced
to move out to the country and live with his aunt and uncle.
Upon arrival in the small town, he’s told that music and
dancing have been banned. But have you seen Kevin Bacon?
Those hips weren’t created for nothing. The movie includes
a truly classic scene of Kevin twirling, flipping, and just all-
around dancing on high in an abandoned warehouse to the
Moving Pictures’ “Never.” It is art in its highest form. A cho-
reographed routine that will last for decades, nay centuries,
to come. But will it be enough to shake the fervid townsfolk
from their vehemently misconceived dance opposition? Sean
Penn’s brother, Sarah Jessica Parker and John Lithgow also tag
along for the ride! KR
