Featured Comments/Tips
i did not expect myself to watch this entire film just because the track "say me say you" by lionel richie is listed as one of its soundtracks :) this is a ballet classic, no regrets
Interesting cold war movie that seems a bit out of touch nowadays. Yet the dancing is impeccable and keeps the interest until the end.
Finally, a director who knows how to film dance.
