Carol and I saw The Company last night. What a movie! This is one of those movies where I wished the iPaulo scale had more letters!! Neve Campbell
(btw, what kind of name is Neve?!) , who trained with the National
Ballet of Canada before turning to acting, was good although I was
waiting for a 3 way ala Wild Things
for about half the movie. The dancing was amazing. Each dance sequence
was short, beautiful, and cinematically just plain interesting. Add the
context from the behind the scenes stuff leading up to each sequence,
and I was totally enthralled by ahem.. ballet. I read a view blogs by
people who were ballet fans who didn’t like the movie very much. But to
me, a complete ballet neophyte, it was great (btw, Fog of War was also
an ipauloooooooo movie!)
