| User ReviewMoni BA very interesting documentary about the pooling of several students trying to dance "Le Sacre du Printemps" by Igor Stravinsky under the conduction of several dancing-masters and Sir Simon Rattle who conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. A gripping study. What interested me the most was the work in the orchestra and the development of the students. Awesome! :) |
