Movie Reviews of White Nights
Movie Review: Spectacular Dancing
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie stars two top dancers in their respective fields, tap and ballet. Even though the plot is somewhat slow and dated, reminiscent of the Cold War era, the individual and duo dance scenes are awesome. Seeing Helen Mirren in earlier days is an added bonus. If you love dance, I guarantee that you will love this movie!
Summary of White Nights
Movie DVDSometimes movies are built around a great idea begging for a story, in this case pairing ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov with tap great Gregory Hines. The resulting storm of dance in White Nights, as one would expect, is great, but the story is a little forced. Baryshnikov plays (in parallel to his own life) a Russian defector to the U.S. who ends up a prisoner in the motherland after his plane is forced to land in Leningrad during an emergency. Hines is an American expatriate who gets involved with the situation. Director Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentleman) punctuates an escape scenario and relationship dilemmas with as many dance sequences as possible, and the result is a wobbly, unconvincing tale with some furious footwork. Fortunately, performances carry the day, as the two male leads are both very strong as actors, and the supporting cast--Isabella Rossellini, Helen Mirren, and filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski (Moonlighting)--is terrific. --Tom Keogh
