The story of Rudolf Nureyev, whose escape to the West stunned the world at the height of the Cold War. With his magnetic presence, Nureyev emerged as ballet’s most famous star, a wild and beautiful dancer limited by the world of 1950s Leningrad. His flirtation with Western artists and ideas led him into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with the KGB.

Disappointment. I had high expectations for a film about Nureyev. He was a genius of a dancer. This film carries us from his birth on a train to his defection from the Soviet Union to the West. The story is done with mediocre competence, but not compellingly. It lacked coherency. I was not able to develop much empathy for any of the protagonists, including Nureyev.
