The movie seems to have been made by strangers to Nureyev. We learn such fascinating details as that he very much enjoys Margot Fonteyn as a partner, but also likes to dance with others; that he loves the classical ballet but also keeps up with modern forms, and that, as previously mentioned, he travels a great deal.
It was enjoyable to watch the dancing and it wasn’t overburdened by his personal life. Still it remained strange how little he talked and how little of techniques were explained. Also the scenes chosen often weren’t ideal to focus on a male dancer, even if there were some great ones. Review by elisa.
