Title: Dancing Into Darkness
Review: In the last ten years of his life, Rudolf Nureyev endeavored to find new directions for his career, as he struggled against the progress of a cruel disease. This video describes his success and his untimely death, through interviews with colleagues and friends, and provides some glimpses of extraordinargy performances by this brilliant and driven artist. There is much natural drama here, indeed perhaps to find the stage in the future as some variation of "Long Day's Journey Into Night". It would make sense to view this video as a final chapter of his life and work, complemented by the earlier "Nureyev", and at least one full-length ballet-- such as "Romeo and Juliet". A "must" for all of us who saw him twenty or thirty years ago, and lost touch when he became artistic director of the Paris Opera Ballet.
Is the review positive or negative?
