Nijinsky
Maria Stepanova
Film basado en los diarios de Vaslav Nijinsky (George de la Peña), quien, entre 1909 y 1917, fue primer bailarín del legendario ballet ruso Diaghilev. Primero como bailarín y luego como coreógrafo, Nijinsky escandalizó a un público demasiado acostumbrado a los convencionalismos del siglo XIX, con su interpretación de obras como “El espectro de la rosa” (Fokine), “Scheherezade” (Rimsky-Korsakov), “Petrushka” (Stravinski), “La siesta de un fauno” (Debussy), o “La consagración de la primavera” (Stravinski). En todas ellas dejó su provocadora e innovadora huella. Entre 1912 y 1913, vivió un conflictivo triángulo amoroso que repercutió de manera trágica tanto en su vida profesional como personal. Mantuvo una larga relación laboral y amorosa con Diaghilev (Alan Bates), el posesivo y celoso director del Ballet Ruso; pero, cuando se enamoró de Romola de Pulsky (Leslie Browne), dejó a Diaghilev para casarse con ella. Éste, despechado, hizo uso de toda su influencia para perjudicarlo.

Ebezner Scrooge es un reflejo de todos nosotros y nos enseña cómo su pasado ha moldeado su presente, cómo la única salida para vencer su futuro es aceptar las consecuencias de sus actos, y tomar las riendas de su vida para llevarla en la dirección que él de verdad quiere.
