The Paris Opera Ballet is one of the world’s great ballet companies and one of France’s principal cultural institutions. With unprecedented access, legendary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman takes us behind-the-scenes showing us how a ballet company functions: from administration, technical support, and classes, to the rehearsal and / or performance of seven acclaimed ballets — Paquita by Pierre Lacotte, The Nutcracker by Rudolf Nureyev, Genus by Wayne McGregor, Medea by Angelin Preljocaj, The House of Bernarda Alba by Mats Ek, Romeo and Juliet by Sasha Waltz and Orpheus and Eurydyce by Pina Bausch.
“Consistently engrossing. Dance fans everywhere will savour the loving depiction of artists at work… It’s hard to remember another dance film that has been so exquisitely photographed.”- Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter
“Magnificent.” – Melissa Anderson, The Village Voice
“A Joyous Experience.” – David Dendy, The New Yorker |
