A Must-See (Paris)

Just a quick note to let you know about Ballerina, a wonderful documentary film that's just opened in Paris directed by my friend Bertrand Normand. The film goes behind the scenes of the Mariinski Theater, and follows the stories of five of its ballerinas--each talented, each unique, each magical. If you love ballet, you'll love this film. And if you've always wondered what all the fuss was about--watch and understand. In French, no subtitles.

[Pedro]

I'm definitely intrigued. I've long been mostly hostile toward ballet -- it seems too damn artificial to me -- and with any luck this documentary might just save me from my own ignorance.

I agree with Pedro, it's never been my favorite genre, but with your endorsement I might be willing to give it a chance;)

[Alexis Niki]

I felt the same way! But I don't think you can see this film and walk away without an epiphany.
