Literary dying

The beginning of this film is general, and it is getting better, and I like it very much after watching it. This film tells the story of the famous Soviet ballet actor Rudolf Nureyev leaving the Soviet Union and staying in France while performing in Paris. I thought that there would be a lot of political and ideological conflicts in the movie, but it didn't. This is a purely art movie, which has nothing to do with politics and only focuses on dance. The current timeline is very short, so there are two timelines for living in the country as a child and learning dance in St. Petersburg. I like the way the three timelines are edited alternately. The protagonist recalls seeing his long-returned father when he was a child and the famous painting by Rembrandt and the prodigal son in the Hermitage Museum. Looking back, the protagonist is trying to experience different ways of expressing emotions and telling stories from different art forms. I started I think this movie is really interesting, and the actor is also very interesting. Another favorite detail is that the male protagonist followed his father to hunt in the snowy woods. Dad has not returned. He felt the silence and desolation of the woods. Then he and his friends visited the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. The magnificent and solemn Gothic architecture fascinated him. Several lines of affection are quite likable. The male protagonist is quite narcissistic because of his talents, and because of his own rural background, he fell out with his girlfriend because of trivial matters. My girlfriend saw the male lead’s performance and said that you are the most selfish man I have ever seen, but I decided to forgive you. It's great here, it feels like an adult is in love. The mother always cared about the male lead in every possible way. The male lead broke his leg and abandoned himself. The female lead took him home to take care of him and healed his leg. As a result, the mother just wanted to sleep with him, and the male lead almost fell apart, making me laugh to death. bgm is also beautiful, but I don't know what it is. Such a good-looking film that is purely about art is really pleasing to the eye.

Uncle Ra is cute, pure and cute. The first film adapted from Shakespeare that I watched in 12 years was Coriolanus, directed and acted by Uncle Ra. He was very unclear at the time. This is also one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. Now the movies are getting better and better.
