His mother, Barbara, was a ballroom dance teacher. Growing up around this scene would influence and ignite Baz\u2019s creativity for years to come, specifically his first film. Despite how long Baz Luhrmann has been around the Hollywood scene, one might be surprised to find out he\u2019s only completed five motion pictures since his start in the industry more than 30 years ago. Since then, he has been one of the most consistent and creative voices in the industry, and a true auteur.

The cinematography and framing are immaculate, and that quick, chaotic editing style is present as well. <em>Australia<\/em> is the last one on this list due to the story and pacing, which, while it may be Baz\u2019s most ambitious work to date, also remains his most shallow.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --> The story is meant to be a grand epic about the country that Baz Luhrmann grew up in. Nicole Kidman stars as a woman who inherits a ranch in Australia. She hires Drover (Hugh Jackman) to accompany her there. It was met with mixed reviews by critics, but it did turn a profit at the box office. Baz brings a lot of fun and style to his films. <em>Australia<\/em> sadly lacks the former &#8211; and yet it is his longest film by more than 20 minutes.

It has everything that fits within the Baz spectrum: melodrama, glamour, big set pieces, and parties. It only made sense that Baz would eventually work his way towards this story.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --> It mostly works. If you\u2019re a Baz fan, then this is another great entry in his filmography. If you were a fan of the book, however, you may <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/the-great-gatsby-2013\">end up feeling a little let down<\/a>. The cast is great, featuring the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton. Everyone gives a good performance, but it&#8217;s really Leonardo DiCaprio who steals the show. The film itself is flawed and messy, but it\u2019s a great time if you\u2019re already a fan of the Baz aesthetic. The only thing keeping this film so low on the list, is the fact that every film above it is truly great.

However, for a lot of people, the play is simply something they\u2019re forced to read for a class that they didn\u2019t even like during high school. Its staying power for a lot of people is only there thanks to this adaptation. Like some of <em>The Great Gatsby&#8217;s<\/em> critics, there were some people that met it with hesitancy as it takes the original play and sets it in 1990s southern California. It keeps the original text, but the locations and characters were drawn from California in that era. Instead of swords and horses, they&#8217;re carrying pistols and driving convertibles.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! --> Baz Luhrmann may not have been the first name that came to mind when adapting Shakespeare, but he was able to do it in a fun and exciting way that opened that world up to many people that might have never given it a second thought. It\u2019s bombastic and silly. Glamorous and frenetic. It\u2019s a perfect mixture of new and old, and may be Baz\u2019s most stylish film to date. It easily features the best costume work of any of his films.<br \/>\n Many consider this film to be a star-turning moment for Leonardo DiCaprio, who hasn\u2019t stepped out of the public eye since then. The cast also featured Claire Danes and John Leguizamo; both playing iconic and great parts. The film was met very favorably by critics, and became an instant cult classic for some. It would go on to get nominated for Best Art Direction\/Set Decoration at the Academy Awards that year.

It works as a full-on musical, but it draws all of its songs from modern and retro pop hits. It makes for an extremely unique viewing experience. The whole film is just dripping with character. Every set piece and costume is given so much care and attention. Even at a much bigger budget than his first project, Baz still finds a way to make it a deeply personal movie. There&#8217;s no one in the world that could have made this movie except Baz Luhrmann.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! --> It features an incredible leading performance from Ewan McGregor, as well as great performances from the rest of the ensemble.

It\u2019s an homage to his childhood growing up with his ballroom dance teacher mother. It\u2019s a purely Australian film that knows exactly what it\u2019s doing, and is unabashed with its honesty and drive.<br \/>\n At it&#8217;s core &#8211; this film is simply about a group of ballroom dancers, living in Australia during the 1990s that are obsessed with winning the Pan-Pacific Grand Prix Dancing Championship. Scott (Paul Mercurio) struggles to find a balance between the traditionalist dance styles that normally win the competition, and how his heart tells him to dance. It&#8217;s a simple, but extremely effective story thanks to the performances by the cast, and Baz&#8217;s unique directorial style.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #7! --> It\u2019s also just a really fun time. Which is, sometimes, all you need when you watch a movie. A little heart, a little fun, and all brought together by people that are passionate about the project. <em>Strictly Ballroom<\/em> is number one on this list because it&#8217;s a glimpse into an unfiltered artistic project that perfectly represents everything that Baz would create throughout his entire career.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Austin-Butler-as-Elvis-Presley.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Austin-Butler-as-Elvis-Presley.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Austin-Butler-as-Elvis-Presley\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Elvis Biopic Draws High Praise from Iconic Singer&#8217;s Granddaughter Riley Keough\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio-expand\" id=\"w-article-author-bio-expand\">\n        About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio \">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/627550a85b1fc-IMG_7364 (3).jpg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>        <strong class=\"bio-title\">Michael Heiskell<br \/>\n                            <span class=\"amount\">(5 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                    <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                    More From Michael Heiskell\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below the author! --><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
