When the world-famous ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West at the height of the Cold War, it sent tremors through the global community - and through Nureyev’s world. Working from a screenplay by David Hare, director Ralph Fiennes has shaped a superb film, shifting between the story of Nureyev’s creative breakthrough in St. Petersburg, evocative glimpses of his impoverished childhood, and the intoxicating days of acclaim in Paris. Real-life dancer Oleg Ivenko delicately conveys the pansexual intensity of Nureyev’s dance style and unpredictable mixture of fragility, generosity and grandiosity.
The screening will be followed by a live by satellite Q&A with Ralph Fiennes and special guests.
