Ho ritrovato per caso questo articolo che parla del quarantesimo anniversario di Xanadu, la colonna sonora del film omonimo con Olivia Newton-John e Gene Kelly (il film) e gli ELO (la colonna sonora). Era il 1980, quindi sono 46 anni adesso. Mi sono messo a riascoltarlo ed è stato come fare un giro nella macchina del tempo. Wow. Money quote: "The film was camp beyond belief and whilst people like myself had been calling it iconic well before its recent resurgence of popularity, that ever-present wrongdoing tag that ends up in things being labeled “iconic,” seems to have finally found its cultish way to Xanadu. The film was Gene Kelly’s last cinematic role and the soundtrack, the subject of this retrospective, includes performances by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), Cliff Richard and of course the star of it all, Olivia Newton-John. Whilst the film barely broke even at the box office and received mostly negative reviews, the soundtrack ended up being something of a smash success." https://www.beyondtheencore.com/retrospectives/olivia-newton-john-amp-electric-light-orchestras-xanadu-soundtrack-turns-40-anniversary-retrospective
