jezebellydancer's rating
Not sure why this film has gotten such low ratings. It's about the dancing not the acting. They used prima ballerinas and of course the incomparable Baryshnikov. The ballet company is making a film version of Giselle and the characters in their off-stage lives are mirroring the story of Giselle. Baryshnikov is the the playboy going through women with the same charm and lines. Frankly, you could fast-forward through the dialog and just skip to the dance sequences. They are incredible. The camera work on the dancing is admirable. Long shots so you can see the dancers' entire bodies, see how Baryshnikov can leap across it with ease. I loved the movie. If you don't like ballet, just skip this one, but if you do--you will love it.
I was looking forward to a WWII movie set in Romania. Unfortunately, the movie was awful. The chars were flat. Eva is beautiful, but Tudor, ugh. I failed to see why a 16-year-old would fall for such a guy. Plus--the age difference is cringy. There was no chemistry between them. No chemistry between Eva and the Baron either, but at least he has money, so that might motivate her. Tudor keep disappearing and Eva is too stupid to figure out what he might be up to. This movie should have been very char driven, but instead it seemed like there were plot points to be hit. I didn't care about any of the chars. I watched it at nearly triple speed hoping it would improve, but it never did. A total waste of time.
