Written by “Ballets Russes” is a magnificent documentary exploring not only the story of the Ballets Russes and its artists, but also a human story of aging and loss. The dancers, in their 70’s and 80’s, recollect this extraordinary period of artistic revolution in ballet through interviews and period footage. With charismatic personalities and humor intact, they enchant as they recount and relive this extraordinary era.
Diaghilev and the history of the Ballets Russes are beautifully presented here:
Wonderful to see is “Gaite Parisienne” in its entirety.
