Dominique Delouche, a filmmaker renowned for his ability to capture ballet, turns his attention to Maya Plisetskaya in this gorgeous, intimate feature.
The documentary chronicles Plisetskaya's life and career, from her earliest training to her days with the Paris Opera Ballet, all narrated by the ballerina herself. Delouche includes terrific footage of the famous dancer's performances in DON QUIXOTE, ROMEO AND JULIET, and SWAN LAKE.
By any standard, Soviet dancer Maya Plisetskaya (b. 1925) qualifies as one of the most vitally important ballerinas of the 20th century. She largely built her reputation on the basis of her ability to look beyond the scope of dance movements per se and invest each assignment with a characterization specific to that role. Legendary productions in which Plistskaya appeared included Don Quixote, Swan Lake, Bolero, and Romeo and Juliet. This documentary portrait from director Dominique Delouche presents Plistskaya as a woman riddled with a series of contradictions that often gained synchronicity onstage. It also touches on her successful attempt to invest her art form with a heightened modernity beginning with her collaborations with Maurice Bjart. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide.
