Summary of The Company
THE COMPANY is "a completely new kind of film" raves Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times a fascinating look at the world of dance with the cooperation of the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago. Legendary director and Oscar? nominee Robert Altman (2001 Best Director Best Picture Gosford Park; 1975 Best Director Best Picture Nashville) takes us into the world of the dancers whose professional and personal lives clash as they cope with the demands of a life in the ballet. Neve Campbell (Scream TV's "Party of Five") plays a gifted but conflicted company member on the verge of becoming a principal dancer at a fictional Chicago troupe. Golden Globe? winner James Franco (Spider-Man TV's "James Dean") co-stars as Campbell's boyfriend a master chef who provides romance and refuge from the watchful eye of the pompous artistic director played by Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange).System Requirements:Running Time: 112 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?043396013223 Manufacturer No:?01322An elegant portrait of artists in the act of creation, The Company is also a ballet lover's dream come true. While this intimate study of the onstage and backstage world of dance may appeal to a limited audience with its casually plotless structure, it's still a unique, accomplished film by one of the greatest American directors. As critic Roger Ebert observed, Robert Altman's film is also an autobiographical reflection of Altman's working methods, in which an ensemble (in this case, Neve Campbell and the dancers of Chicago's celebrated Joffrey Ballet Company) is casually choreographed in an atmosphere of spontaneity that's both dramatically charged and effortlessly authentic. A classically trained dancer, Campbell also coproduced the film, and stars with James Franco (as her easygoing boyfriend) and Malcolm McDowell as the Joffrey's delightfully diva-like artistic director. Featuring stellar performances of the Joffrey's best-known dances, this soothing, hypnotic film is devoid of conventional dialogue, and yet Barbara Turner's screenplay provides a precise roadmap for Altman's masterful choreography of dance, music, and human interaction. --Jeff Shannon
