The White Crow

Tonight I went to the Balmoral Cinema with my Mum where I saw the movie The White Crow which it's based on the true story about legendary Soviet ballet Dancer Rudolf Nureyev. It's 1961 and ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev (Oleg Ivenko) along with the Kirov Ballet Company are on an trip to Paris which it's his first time travelling outside and he gets to revel and enjoy the culture as well as the sophistication and the artistic offerings that the city. But also he is in getting watched by the KGB as well as the other dancers and at the airport he is in a situation where he has to choose. It's an FANTASTIC movie as well as interesting with Top and Fantastic acting by Oleg Ivenko, Ralph Fiennes who also produced and directed it, Adele Exarchopoulos as Clara Saint, Chulpan Khamatova and Luis Hoffman. Besides from Ralph Fiennes the other producers were Carolyn Marks Blackwood, Francois Ivernel, Andrew Levitas and Gabrielle Tana and David Hare did the screenplay. It's an amazing story and you imagine the situation at the time in the early 60's which to those who have know about it you'll understand it but those who have not seen it you will learn about it. I am giving this 4 stars as it's in the cinemas now so do yourselves an favour and See it which you'll be impressed.
