“...achieves that poetry of motion and lyrical delight musical films always strive for but rarely capture.” – Chicago Tribune
Directed by Robert Altman.
An ambitious ballerina (Neve Campbell) goes head-to-head with her dance master (Malcolm McDowell) and boyfriend (James Franco), seeking a balance between love and her career. The familiar setup forms the heart of this portrait of the insular world of ballet, whose precision and discipline were fortuitously met with director Robert Altman’s improvisation and exploration. A group portrait as well as a character study, the film evokes that singularity of purpose that fine art demands.
