The escape of art

On June 15, the Shanghai Film Festival opened. The opening film "Yabai" has not been released so far due to "technical reasons".

The biggest highlight of the film festival is the extra screening of "White Crow"

The rare white crow to describe the rebellious ballet legend Rudolf Nureyev (1938~1993) is really appropriate.

At that time, male dancers in ballet were merely foils. The appearance of Ryriev makes male dancers and female dancers evenly divided

And his 17-year collaboration with the Queen of Ballet, Margot Fontaine, has achieved an unparalleled partner record.

However, such a dancer almost faced the fate of imprisonment and exile

March 17, 1938 "Reryev was born on a train, and he also spent his entire life at a speed of 100 miles per hour."

In 1958, at the age of 20, Nureyev joined the Kirov Dance Theatre

In May 1961, the Kirov troupe, where Nuriev belonged, made its first tour of Europe. He sneaked out many times and walked through the streets of Paris.

For this he received a warning

On June 16, 1961, the superiors at Le Bourget Airport in Paris, France, decided to send Ryriev back home.

With the help of friends, Relyev asked for political asylum.

The Soviet court tried in absentia and sentenced Ryriev to 7 years of exile for treason. In 1987, Relyev was allowed to bid farewell to his mother when he was dying, but he "returned immediately after visiting and was not allowed to stay."

In January 1993, Relyev died in Paris.

Duchamp did not draw the background and input the white crow to obtain resources.

    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 successful thing is that the film showed that he was incompatible with the Soviet Union and seemed passive in the process. It is an objective and inevitable thing to stay in the West, rather than subjectively destroying the great motherland. From a pink standpoint, it does not seem to be that heinous. The music is very beautiful, and the interspersed technique of dance and plot reminded me of "Hong Lingyan" for a while. The temper to the teacher was a bit abrupt in the middle, I want to express his personality, I understand, but the technique is a bit blunt.

    "White Crow" and "Balloon" are separated by a distance of "No Master"

The White Crow quotes

  • Rudolf Nureyev: I took the... feminine. That's what I did. Hard to say in English.

    Clara Saint: Try, Rudy.

    Rudolf Nureyev: Before me, male part... boring. Man only stands, does nothing. The women leap, jump, turn. The man...

    Rudolf Nureyev: [stands and poses with his arms in the air]

    Rudolf Nureyev: I ask why not man be like woman? I took from the woman.

  • Rudolf Nureyev: Okay. I am a peasant from Ufa. I'm boy born on train. I play princes in theatre, but I'm not prince. Fuck him. Fuck Paris. Fuck you.

    Clara Saint: You should apologise.

    Rudolf Nureyev: Little girl, if you like apologies, you with wrong man.
