Rumba on DVD in March

1 March 2010

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 was described by Philip French in The Observer as "An extraordinary comedy. Funny, inventive and extremely touching."

Rumba will be released on UK DVD on 22nd March 2010 by Network releasing at the RRP of £19.99 with the following extras:

  • Rumba: step by step;
  • Deleted scenes;
  • Bloopers;
  • Trailer;
  • Q & A with Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
