Title: Magical
Review: Okay...seriously, this was filmed in the 70's, do not expect the same cinematography that we have today. But, I grew up on this, and it's MAGICAL to me. This is still my favorite version of the Nutcracker, we watched it during the Christmas season as I grew up, when we didn't have a ballet close enough to attend. Baryshnikov is magical onstage, and gelsey kirkland brings it to life. It's not traditional in the sense, that the main character is a child...it was coreographed as a young woman, so you get to see the pairs dancing between kirkland, and baryshnikov. Beautiful.
