Afraid
to Dance
(1989)
Johnny's
notes:
Afraid
To Dance is a drama
about two unnamed
characters that cross
paths in their
meandering lives. The
Man (Nique Needles from
Dogs in Space) is a
petty crim who is going
nowhere. When he is
picked up by a woman
while hitchhiking, he
intends to steal from
her, but the tables are
turned and he is left
without money and very
nearly without clothes.
He goes to the town and
intends to steal a car
to get to his
destination, but it just
so happens that the
owner of the car (well,
I assume the owner of
the car), a woman (Rosey
Jones) is coming back to
it, having done some
light shoplifting. She
reluctantly gives him a
lift, they sort of hit
it off and he stays with
her but asks him to
shove off in the
morning. Well, he
doesn't and eventually
they become closer and
this comes to a head
when they break into
someone's house and
watch a video that the
man of his house is
making for his children.
He then takes her
virginity, then he dies
the next day in a police
chase. Of course, she
becomes pregnant.
Hmm,
not a lot going on here,
in fact the film sort of
meanders to it's
destination without
really setting the world
on fire, just two social
outcasts that find each
other and have a brief
moment together, not
much more than that.
Kinda pointless to be
honest...
As always with VHS
videos, the quality is
not perfect, but this
came out alright, the
video below is a dark
scene, so that doesn't
help, but the video is
OK and quite lengthy.
