Movie Reviews of Giselle
Movie Review: Another POB winner
Summary: 5 Stars
I am puzzled by the French critic who regards this performance as a major disappointment. Perhaps dancers are not without honor, save in their own countries. Since the critic seems to be an "insider" (claiming access to private management discussions), I wondered if he might have an ax to grind. In any case, I can only say that my high expectations were met. The music is rich and crisp, and the sound engineers placed the microphones wherever they needed to be to pick up every vibration of every air molecule. Viewers can judge for themselves from the live applause if the critic's major disappointment was widely shared. In addition to the fine performances of the etoiles, the doe-eyed Emmanuel Thibault, who is not (yet) an etoile, has a noteworthy solo in Act I. He doesn't seem to resent the "hierarchical" structure of the POB (what are most ballet companies-- anarchies?) and probably shares my belief that his talent will soon be rewarded with a promotion. Another reviewer felt that Romoli's Hilarion was something of a bully. What I noticed was that after he and Albrecht blame each other for Giselle's death at the end of Act I, Hilarion blames himself in Act II. Albrecht isn't the only one transformed by her death.
