DOCUMENTARIES

Барышников в Голливуде / Baryshnikov in Hollywood
Фильм о знаменитом русском танцовщике Михаиле Барышникове, который выступает в непривычной для себя роли героя голливудских кинолент — исполняет танцевальные номера, комментирует их и беседует со Стефаном Джонсом, Лайзой Райнхарт, Линн Стэнфорд и Лу Тиано. Один день на студии грез, где сбываются мечты и разбиваются сердца, с неподражаемым Михаилом Барышниковым! Свое путешествие наш герой начинает из гримерки, где он отдыхает после спектакля. Внезапно к нему врывается кинопродюсер и, не слушая никаких возражений, требует отправиться в Голливуд, «чтобы затмить Рудольфо Валентино». После долгих уговоров Барышников все же решает испытать свою судьбу. День Барышникова в Голливуде состоит из бесчисленных занятий с преподавателями по сценической речи и актерскому мастерству (которые, признаться, считают Барышникова безнадежным) и постановочных танцев, которые пародируют известнейшие киноленты. Так, «Шейх» Барышникова -- балетная версия знаменитого «Шейха» 1921 года с Валентино, а «Пират» -- почти «Пират» 1948 года с Джуди Гарланд и Джимом Келли. Однако кинокарьера Барышникова в Голливуде, по замыслу режиссера программы, не сложится, и в конце программы наш герой уедет из Голливуда, чтобы поставить новый балет в Нью-Йорке.

Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the revolutionary twentieth-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes. What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia became not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous “ballet battles” that consumed London society before World War II. BALLETS RUSSES maps the company’s Diaghilev-era beginnings in turn-of-the-century Paris--when artists such as Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Stravinsky united in an unparalleled collaboration--to its halcyon days of the 1930s and ’40s, when the Ballets Russes toured America, astonishing audiences schooled in vaudeville with artistry never before seen, to its demise in the 1950s and ’60s when rising costs, rocketing egos, outside competition, and internal mismanagement ultimately brought this revered company to its knees. Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, BALLETS RUSSES treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European, and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come. — Sundance Film Festival, 2005 Rent or Purchase Digitally: https://kinonow.com/film/ballets-russes/5e31acf64ae26f0001ac98da Buy the DVD: https://www.kinolorber.com/product/ballets-russes-dvd #movie #film #documentary #documentaries #ballet #ballerina #dance #dancing #music #dancers

Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan | Full Documentary Movie
RESTLESS CREATURE: WENDY WHELAN offers an intimate portrait of prima ballerina Wendy Whelan as she prepares to leave New York City Ballet after a record-setting three decades with the company. One of the modern era’s most acclaimed dancers, Whelan was a principal ballerina for NYCB and, over the course of her celebrated career, danced numerous ballets by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, as well as new works by more modern standout choreographers like Christopher Wheeldon and Alexei Ratmansky; many roles were made specifically for Whelan. As the film opens, Whelan is 46, battling a painful injury that has kept her from the ballet stage, and facing the prospect of her impending retirement from the company. What we see, as we journey with her, is a woman of tremendous strength, resilience and good humor. We watch Whelan brave the surgery that she hopes will enable her comeback to NYCB and we watch her begin to explore the world of contemporary dance, as she steps outside the traditionally patriarchal world of ballet to create Restless Creature, a collection of four contemporary vignettes forged in collaboration with four young choreographers. Throughout Linda Saffire and Adam Schlesinger’s riveting documentary, we watch Whelan grapple with questions of her own identity and worth. Historical footage shows her dancing as a very young girl in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, then as a teenager on her own in New York and, finally, as a rising ballerina with the company. “’If I don’t dance, I’d rather die’—I’ve actually said that,” says Whelan at one point in the film, as she talks about leaving the only environment she knows, and facing what comes next. Whelan’s unflinching honesty, her tireless determination, and her winsome attitude—along with her breathtaking dancing—make RESTLESS CREATURE: WENDY WHELAN not just a fascinating portrait of an artist grappling with change but also a delight to watch. #movie #film #documentary #documentaries #ballet #dancing #movies #freemovie #freemovies
