rowness of his hometown bomont to his city slicker buddy ren kevin bacon bomont which is located in the amer ican midwest may have richard dawson but it doesnt have rock videos or any other reflections of 80s pop culture theres no duran duran no culture club no michael jackson no men at work no pat benetar and gosh no dancing in bomont teenagers smuggle in casset te tapes and jot down lyrics in secret hiding places dancing is illegal and the police confiscate rock tapes the whole town is complacently under the thumb of the head minister reverend shaw moore john lithgow who has led a successful movement to ban what he sees as corrupting pop culture the task of opening bomont up to the more popular aspects of the 20th century is left to ren maccormack a recent arrival from chicago who still has david bowie in his blood and itches visibly at the towns orwellian mentality what results is a conflict of epic propor tions as rural complacency slams into an individual who cant forget the lights of the big city ren is first incredulous then un comfortable then outraged the second result is a toe tapping finger snapping good time herbert the turning point ross working from a screenplay by fame lyricist dean pitchford who co- wrote the films nine original songs has crafted a perceptive look at the spirit of teen culture that transcends its focus on the 80s by highlighting the frustrations that re sult from bomonts repression ross and pitchford manage to emphasize the spirit of the music as a means of expression and release granted the film runs a few minutes too long to sustain its breezy material but ross pulls it off thanks to his flashy yet perceptive handling of the material though pitchford s descriptions of his characters and their emotions is surpri singly solid it is elevated a few notches into endearing sincerity by the convictions of the cast kevin bacon is excellent as ren a teen rebel who is pleasingly intelligent rather than inarticulate and surly but not stupid as reverend moore lithgow steers clear of playing the heavy as an antagonis tic gargoyle and lends the reverend the striking conflict between his ominious physical presence and his doeeyed awk ward sensitivity footloose is playing at markville cinemas love letters is a nice surprise by ian bailey love letters is no thing less than a very pleasant sur
