THE WHITE CROW

Recommended. It's best to skip the spoiler in the very beginning and not to know how it ends so that it keeps you on the edge of your seat almost like a political thriller. Rudolph Nureyev appears to have had a rich personality which is perfectly rendered in the picture. His narcissism and arrogance mix with his genuine love for dance and art. His visiting museums - which he perceived as essential to develop artistically, work and the political side of the trip to Paris are presented. The original dancer was better - he's shown along with early end credits. Ralph Fiennes in turn sounds like a true Russian. But the political intrigue combined with the affirmation of the value of arts as well as the faults of Rudolph's character make for a top-notch movie anyway.
