Dancing at the Blue Iguana

OK so this film is an indie about strippers. It’s a major downer and a bit raunchy but it also turns out to have some very charming and funny moments. It’s like two different films occupying the same celluloid. Darryl Hannah is priceless as the clueless Angel who just wants to adopt a kid and live happily ever after. The performance is funny and endearing. The rest of the girls’ stories are ok and much more expected. Overall it is an interesting film by Michael Radford who also directed the spectacular “Merchant of Venice” with Al Pacino.
Favorite moment: Almost any with Angel trying to get by in life.
