At the beginning of Sista dansen ("The Last Dance") the camera focuses on the body of a dead woman. The film slowly unravels how and why she ended up dead lying under a pier in Blackpool.
The dead woman, Liselott, was a danser and married to her partner, Lennart. Together they were a successful couple, at least on the danse floor, which can not be said about their friends, Tove and Claes. The filmmaker Colin Nutley is occupied with the underlying rivalry and jealousy between the two couples, but what the story is meant to convey, I have not figured out yet.
Compared to his high-spirited "Änglagård"-comedies and other dance films such as "Strictly Ballroom" and "'Shall We' dansu?", this film is rather glum. The world of dance-halls and ballrooms is not presented in a flattering way, far from it!
