CloseDir: Frederick Wiseman
France 2009 158mins
Frederick Wiseman, one of the world’s greatest documentary makers, films the Paris Opera Ballet, one of the world’s greatest ballet companies, and the result is an impressive glimpse inside one of France’s foremost cultural institutions.
Wiseman wastes no time in taking us behind the scenes into rehearsals, placing dance itself at the heart of the film, and in sum we see preparations for and/or performances of seven ballets including The Nutcracker by Rudolph Nureyev, Medea by Angelin Preljocaj and Orpheus and Eurydyce by Pina Bausch.
The camera quietly observes the artistry of ballet come together from all angles and the viewer shares every moment – no matter how small.
