Great Performances: Burn the Floor (1999)
Episode 3, Season 28
Dancing Ruined by Schlock Direction

This filming of what is probably a very good theatrical performance has been completely ruined by the director's insistence on jump cutting and slo-mo effects. I don't think that any camera angle is held for more than 3 seconds before a cut is made.
I detest directors who think that a focus on the subject is not worthwhile and who would rather the viewer has the attention span of a gnat. Perhaps in the theatre this would have worked. On video, it appears to me to have been subjected to the Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
This is a perfect example of how not to video the genre. Bad, Bad, bad.
Absolutely ghastly! Save your money for something else.
