Über diesen Film

Ballet may be one of the most popular forms of dance but it’s also the most mysterious. Rarely do we get a chance to look beyond the shimmering tutus and frozen smiles to the tortuous rehearsal process. In this astonishing film, we follow renowned choreographer Boris Eifman as he prepares for the opening night of his new ballet. Part fly-on-the-wall documentary; part philosophical study on the purpose of dance, it uniquely captures the frustration, fury and exhilaration of rehearsal.
