Title: Total frustration even for a historic ballet lover
Product review: I'm a big fan of Maya Plisetskaya and was willing to buy anything that might present even portions of her fabulous dancing. I knew this was an incomplete ballet because it was only 88 minutes of a 3 hour ballet, but not only was it cut up, the music was not synchronized with the snippets of dance that were included. Different dances are popped into and out of and intercut with shots of audience members who were clearly pre-selected. There are very few of Maya's dances on screen and not one is shown in its entirety. I have to confess that I didn't watch the whole thing because it was making me tear my hair out after about 40 minutes. What a disappointment! Only buy it if you're interested in seeing Soviet society and not dance.
