Rumba clip - Stripping off clothes - out now

"A masterclass in hilarity...rarely seen since the heyday of Laurel and Hardy. Close to genius." **** (David Parkinson, Empire)
"Charmingly original (with) ceaseless visual invention" (Kate Stables, Sight & Sound)
"A magical comedy brought to life by brilliantly choreographed physical performances" (Anton Bitel, Film 4)
"A delight from start to finish" (Laurence Boyce, Little White Lies)
"A dreamy and chipper comedy..." (Karen Krizanovich)

RUMBA, the burlesque comedy from directing and acting trio Dominque Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy is out on DVD now.

Originally screened as part of Critics Week at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008, the film continues to charm critics.

RUMBA tells the story of Fiona and Dom, who are teachers at a country school with a shared passion for Latin dance. They are deeply in love and at weekends they enter dance competitions. One night returning home from a dance event they encounter a man on a suicide mission. Swerving to avoid him, they crash into a wall and their life is thrown into turmoil.

Paying homage to Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati, this highly original and surreal comedy set in a colourful world, magically blends theatre, dance, mime and dialogue and will appeal to all film fans seeking out something different this summer.
