It’s a shame the Morrises don’t include more of Nureyev’s performance footage and opt, instead, to use long segments of contemporary dance reconstructions choreographed by Russell Maliphant. The segments look a bit garish and out of place, not necessarily because of their poor choreographic content, but as they have little aesthetic or conceptual continuity with the rest of the film.

Live to dance or dance to live. Following the life of the famous Russian dancer, his difficult childhood and his career is somewhat interesting, especially since you are a fan of this kind of scenic art. One of his strengths is his truthfulness.
