Stomp: Out Loud (1997)
Stomp is a rhythmic, musical extravaganza that has stunned audiences across the globe. If you weren't lucky enough to catch them in your hometown (or you did and you crave more), now there's Stomp Out Loud, a special HBO performance that will bring the unusual musical feats right into your living room. You might just find yourself grabbing a broom or even your remote control to keep time. "It's comedy, it's theater, it's very physical, it's energetic, it's occasionally quite terrifying," says one performer. Taking their show from the theater to the streets, this astonishing troupe can make music out of just about anything and just about anywhere. --Dana Van Nest

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
This musical video is in a class by itself. Though some have compared it to Riverdance, which was also great, this is different in many obvious ways, the improvised "instruments" for starters. I would rate this "musical" as a "10" all the way.
I was rather surprised to find this on video- I had seen the stage show twice, and felt that it would be hard to capture the feel of the show in a movie.The producers have done a good job, capturing most of the magic of a Stomp show without (of course) interaction with the audience. Stomp could be classified as a dance troupe, performance art, or industrial-type music, and for the full effect, it's necessary to watch them; that makes this much better than the various soundtracks and albums floating around that have "songs" performed by Stomp.I'd still recommend seeing Stomp live before watching the video; but this is a pretty good substitute.
