Movie Reviews of Ballets Russes
Movie Review: For ballet fans
Summary: 3 Stars
I am no lover of ballet, so the standard to which I held this documentary about the various permutations of the most influential ballet company of the 20th century was that it should make me feel like I've been missing out on something. I wanted to be swept up by the enthusiasm of the filmmakers and their subjects. This often happened during the charming interviews with the company members looking back on those heady days. The narrative, however, was a lengthy catalog of intrigues, seperations, and reconciliations that failed to hold my interest. The archival footage is valuable to devotees of the art form.Movie Review: For the serious ballet lover only
Summary: 3 Stars
It's really long, but if you love ballet this is for you. The history and clips of the really great ballerinas are wonderful. But if you're expecting a full-length ballet, this is not it. I ordered it because it got such great reviews, but frankly I couldn't sit through it in one sitting.Movie Review: I wish I could have seen it!

I was unable to view my DVD of Ballet Russes since the message on the screen said - not available in this area - or something like that. I have sent 3 Emails to Amazon to tell them I was unable to view it, and despite the fact they promise replies to Emails within 24 hours, I have heard nothing. So I am not happy at all. I will let you know how good the DVD is when you send me a copy I can view.Movie Review: Ballets Russes Without That Pesky Dancing
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a BIG disappointment because the ad didn't make clear that it was not ballet but rather interviews with octogenarian dancers. The only dancing was a few 10-second inserts. Wasted money!
