Rebel

Before the films from down under became such a delicacy (Strictly Balroom etc) this movie tries its best and, even though it doesn't accomplish much, still makes an impression that separates it from many other similar with it.

A very very young Matt Dillon and then Pop diva make a bit awkward couple, but Debra Byrnes manages to earn some sympathy from the audience (and an AFI nomination for Best Actress). The story is a bit too much melodramatized and the last scene is a bit too extravagant, given the fact it takes place in a club and not an opera house.

However, the song that Byrnes performs ("Heroes") made quite an impression to me and I still remember its lyrics even after 20 years or so that I have seen it.
