This week, we’re pirouetting our way into Let’s Get Physical (1983), a film that asks the age-old question: Can love, and a little extracurricular activity, heal all wounds? 

When a world-famous ballet dancer Carl (Paul Thomas) wrecks his car and his manhood after an ill-advised fling, his marriage to the elegant Maria (Hyapatia Lee) hits the rocks. But instead of wallowing in heartbreak, Lee takes matters into her own hands,both on and off the dance floor.

What follows is a story that blends high drama and steamy romance, complete with  cover of M.Js “Beat It” and a dreamlike fantasy sequence that’s pure visual poetry. Bob Chinn directs with his usual finesse, crafting a film that feels like a soap opera from an alternate reality—one where pleasure is the cure for all ailments.

So, is Let’s Get Physical any good? We’re lacing up our ballet slippers and diving into it all to find out.
