May (Susan Dey) es una madre soltera que, desde su hogar en el barrio de Echo Park en Los Ángeles, sueña con llegar a ser famosa. Para poder llegar a fin de mes, May trabaja en un bar de striptease y alquila una habitación a Jonathan (Tom Hulce), un compositor que sobrevive repartiendo pizzas y que no tarda en enamorarse de ella, aunque May sólo tiene ojos para su vecino culturista (Michael Bowen). El trío traba una fuerte amistad, que les ayuda a superar las decepciones que sufren cuando sus aspiraciones por llegar a Hollywood se ven frustradas. Pero los celos de Jonathan amenazan con hacer peligrar la única auténtica familia que todos ellos poseen en Echo Park.
Cinematography
An amalgam of documentary and cinema verité, this movie outlines the life, loves and music of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Bill Wyman. After leaving the Stones in 1981, Wyman tried to establish his own separate musical identity, conveyed here through a stream of hallucinatory images and animated sequences.
Cinematography
Director Robert Dornhelm casts Bud Cort for alter-ego purposes in She Dances Alone. Cort plays a documentary director, seeking to produce a film on the life of controversial ballet star Vaslav Nijinsky. He finds his goal of objectivity blocked by Nijinsky's elderly real-life daughter Kyra, who is as stocky as her father was sylph-like. Kyra's uncompromising insistence on total control over the project literally shapes (and frequently distorts) the film before our eyes. Adding to the Pirandellian atmosphere of the Australian-produced She Dances Alone is Max Von Sydow, also playing "himself."
