Jens B Standard biopic with a very charismatic lead and good ballet sequences. Unfortunately, there aren't that many ballet sequences at all (in a film about one of the most influential dancers of the 20th century). And if you don't know who Rudolf Nurejew was (and how he basically changed ballet), the film will also not tell you all that much about him. Fiennes could have used the two hour runtime more efficiently. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review LABEL 2 三条时间线彼此之间比较疏离，技法的使用未能有效服务于叙事；叛逃段由于相对集中于单线反而把紧张的氛围表现得更饱满。影片对纽瑞耶夫性格的展现略显生硬，虽然我行我素、自由不羁的个性得到了充分演绎，但可惜对其暴躁自私的态度未能交代完整。 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Ty N The film is beautiful visually, and projects the intelligence of its subject and the team behind (and in front of) the camera. There are a few flaws in execution. The runtime is excessive due to intellectual over-explication and constant flashbacks that distract rather than enlighten. Nonetheless, the end result is a solid achievement. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Rosana B Assisti o igualmente maravilhoso documentário anteriormente, Nureyev: An Orgy of One, uma figura intrigante, talentosa, metódica, displicente com regras, porém efusivamente determinado e focado no balé, perfeccionista... Alternando três fases da vida de Nureyev para explicar os contextos do homem que se tornou, amante da arte, bissexual, livre, corajoso, um tanto quanto grotesco e grosseiro... O Corvo Branco apelido assemelha-se a Ovelha Negra... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review isla s This is a relatively engrossing watch, with some good choreographed ballet dance performances and decent performances but the main character is less than entirely likeable, I think its fair to say and so I wasn't as intrigued by what happened to him, as I may otherwise have been. Its still interesting in terms of the culture and history of Russia and it felt a fairly well made film generally. I'd recommend this film if your particularly interested in it but it likely won't appeal to everyone (few films do, of course) but it is a somewhat thoughtful film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A good portrayal of a fascinating period and artist. The herding of brilliant Soviet artists through the French customs by their authorities is a sad reminder of this era of oppression. It is a strange contrast - the brilliance of artists encouraged by the state in the USSR and Cuba, and the dour greyness of state control. I loved the portrayal of the relationships of Nureyev's friends, helpers and lovers. I can't get enough of Nureyev - it is great to follow up with performances on youtube and compare his art with other dancers, some who look like wooden plodders in comparison.
