I was a Rudolf Nureyev friend from the time of his learning in Leningrad. I have seen many films about Rudy and because of it I was fear to see something aesthetic wrong about his person. But I was nice astonished with the tact and quality all the frames connected with Rudy. Besides the movie made very talented, the storytellers are very open and natural, cameraman is brilliant, and the composition of the film (I mean the scenes of real life combined with the ballet documentary abstracts) is awesome. To my opinion all the people who loves the Rudof and the story of ballet have to go to see this wonderful film. I never knew very much about Rudolf's time in Turkey and it was the real new vision of the atmosphere there, all these bazaars, colorful carpets, and Rudolf bargains in the small shop... The Island story, the sea travels trying to find it, the ancient ruins and Rudolf, dancing in the amphitheater - unbelievable! And the sad final - the mosaic carpet on his grave - bride colorful memory of his bride colorful life!
