    Don't know Rudolph himself, but it's fair to say that the characters in this movie are too unflattering. The photography is good, the editing is a little short, and the feeling is similar to the wind commentary. The body is still in good...

    There are good sequences, including scenes of Nureyev's gifted ballet and the final airport escape from the Soviet Union. The dazed and helpless emotions in the close-up are especially sympathetic, but the time-jumping and long "silent" performances make the story tedious and...

    A little bit beyond expectations. The film was still being filmed in 17 years, and a publicist I met in Cannes sent the first batch of stills. I started paying attention to this film at that time, but I only watched it today. I didn't expect much from director Ralph Fiennes. I didn't expect the lines to be condensed and there was no nonsense. The plot design was enough to touch the hearts of the characters. The airport defections were quite exciting and the actors performed well. The most...

    Based on the real events of Soviet male ballet star Nuriev. It is a story about defections, which happened in Paris in 1958. Such things often happened in that era. If a regime guards the citizens like a thief, it is inevitable that such a regime will collapse after more than two decades, but the process is too...

    A legend that is not thrilling can still be called a legend. When historical figures are legendary and personal, the task left for biopics is to do a lot of subtraction, which is shaped by growth, emotional experience, high-profile behavior, and influenced by the times... Voldemort, who can speak Russian, has not been drinking since the beginning of his creation. Greedy to include all aspects, but directly throw out a selfish and eventually free Soviet genius. The train and the ballet stage are...

    He can sense the contempt of the restaurant staff, detect the sneer of the French friend opposite, and hear the whispers of the ballet coach in the corner. His body lies at the end of the married couple's bed, his soul is suspended on the Medusa raft in the Louvre, his eyes are concentrated on the gay people embracing on the dance floor, and his memory goes into the blackened cave of the steam train. He is an animal who was forcibly taken into the dance room, a farmer who was forced to be...

    2019 Shanghai Film Festival NO.01. Ballet is the most suitable performance for the cold war. It is a group dance and is composed of individuals. If you obey the order, it is the Soviet Union; if you overcome fear and control the stage, you realize yourself, and you are the West. Relying on real people and novels, this is an excellent story, but it is not easy to shoot. When the German brother said "You can't refuse a foreigner like me (I can't remember the original words)", the ending is doomed.

The White Crow quotes

  • Rudolf Nureyev: I can live anywhere. Remember, I was born on a train. I feel I will never return to my country. But I may never be happy in yours.

  • [First Lines - dialogue entirely in Russian with English subtitles]

    Interrogator: You knew.

    Aleksandr Ivanovich Pushkin: No.

    Interrogator: You knew what he was planning to do.

    Aleksandr Ivanovich Pushkin: No.

    Interrogator: You're saying he never spoke of defection?

    Aleksandr Ivanovich Pushkin: The subject never came up.

    Interrogator: He never spoke of it?

    Aleksandr Ivanovich Pushkin: Never.

    Interrogator: This is an attack on the Soviet Union.

    Aleksandr Ivanovich Pushkin: No, It's about dance.

    Interrogator: Dance?

    Aleksandr Ivanovich Pushkin: He knows nothing about politics. He's gone to the West because there he can dance.

    Interrogator: He could dance here.

    Aleksandr Ivanovich Pushkin: Yes, but... I think it's likely he had an explosion of character. That's who he is.
