Tamara Rojo, dancer and artistic director of English National Ballet, explores Giselle - the first great Romantic ballet, and a defining role for any ballerina. Through two radically contrasting 2016 productions - a traditional 19th-century recreation, and a gritty reimagining of the work by celebrated Anglo-Bangladeshi choreographer Akram Khan - Rojo examines the cultural and social background to the ballet’s genesis in 1840s Paris, and the spiritual themes that have fuelled its success over the last 175 years. Giselle is the story of a young peasant girl who personifies all that is good in life, and ultimately forgives the aristocrat who has seduced and betrayed her. With Giselle, the look and emotional heart of ballet was transformed forever, from mime-based storytelling to a fusion of emotion, music and movement, formulating a tradition that has inspired audiences, dancers and choreographers ever since.

En 1971, cuatro estudiantes universitarios se unieron para formar una banda de rock. Desde entonces, esa cierta banda llamada Queen ha lanzado 26 álbumes y vendido más de 300 millones de discos en todo el mundo. La popularidad de Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor y John Deacon es más fuerte que nunca 40 años después. Pero no era un lecho de rosas. Sin crucero de placer. Queen tuvo su parte de patadas en la cara, pero lo lograron y así es como lo hicieron, en el contexto de una música brillante e impresionantes actuaciones en vivo de todos los rincones del mundo. En esta película, por primera vez, es la banda la que cuenta su historia. Con entrevistas completamente nuevas con la banda y material de archivo invisible (incluida su primera actuación televisiva recientemente descubierta), es una historia convincente contada con inteligencia, ingenio, mucho humor y dolorosa honestidad.
