Using
wonderful archive footage and anecdotes from surviving members of
Ballets Russes, this is an inside view of the troupe which toured the
world in the 1930s and ‘40s. A mix of Russian
and American dancers transformed ballet for generations; this film captures their inspiration – and their rivalries.
A
remarkable work of cultural history in this golden age of
documentaries, and even for those who know nothing of ballet, riveting
stuff.
