Movie Reviews of Ballets Russes
Movie Review: What a thrill!
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother, Shirley Haynes, was a member of Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo for about 10 yrs in the 1940's-1950's. She was not well enough to go to the reunion in New Orleans.
Being named for Danilova, it was humorous to hear so many wonderful stories from the other beautiful ladies.
This film was shown in my area on the anniversary of her passing. I was fortunate enough to connect our local film society with Robert Lindgren who was in the company with my mother. He lectured and took questions at all of the showings. Pure Magic!
Movie Review: Dance to the Music of Time
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a wonderful informative movie. Superbly done.
If you like dance and the Ballet , you won't want to miss this. You see the old footage of the 20's and 30's,when they were very young..
Then the artist speaks as they are today, it is quite amazing!! They still have such style and grace. Seeing them in their prime is very thrilling, but to see them today and see they are just as vivacioous in their golden years. It's a great example for all of us. Just go see it,, and I thank the film makers for bringing it to us
Movie Review: Perfect Movie for Ballet Fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
If I had wished upon a star for a ballet film, it would have
been this one. I have long been a fan (and in childhood and
young adulthood, a student) of the ballet. In particular,
I was interested in the lives of the members of the Ballets
Russes. This documentary was absolutely perfect. I took a
friend who didn't know a single person in the film but found
it fascinating and wanted to see it again.
Movie Review: A Balletomane's Treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
First saw this film at the Film Forum in NY. Was completely bowled over by the poignant (and informative) interviews with these former dancers with the Ballets Russes companies. The people and their stories are absolutely fascinating. Archival footage is amazing. You will see things here that you would have to search high and low for, if you were interested. However, the producing/directing team has done all this work for you.Movie Review: A wonderful ballet history
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful documentary about the Ballet Russe and how it evolved, fell apart, evolved again. It includes lots of film of the dancers, how they became a part of the ballet, what their personalities were like. It gives you an excellent background for Balanchine and Massine, with some insights on Agnes DeMille and by Maria Tallchief. If you are a ballet lover, you cannot help but enjoy this.
