Summary: "Two important and beautiful ballet films, showcasing the work of the great choreographers and dancers of Russia. 'Pages of the Russian Ballet' is a concert film in which the majesty of grand Russian tradition is fully on view. We are treated to dances from a Glinka opera and the great Borodin's 'Prince Igor' and 'Polovtsian Dances' - with classic choreography by Michel Fokine, leading light of both the avant garde of the early 1900's and of modern ballet in the first half of the twentieth century. Just as exciting: the pieces are danced by the Kirov Ballet - and feature Gabriella Komleva, one of the modern world's best-loved ballerinas. 'A Crazy Day' is the work of the idiosyncratic Russian genius Boris Eifman, who has made his name as a choreographer by bringing wit and insight to the grand traditions of Russian and international ballet. Here he offers a gorgeous, complex, funny, and sexy riff on 'The Barber of Seville' - typical of Eifman's work, which brings the great Russian ballet traditions into the postmodernist world" -- Text al contenidor
