Dancer
This new Christmas ballet film was conceived by Matthew Bourne and directed by his long standing film collaborator Ross MacGibbon. The film celebrates Bourne's power to imaginatively transform ballet, taking dance and dancers off the stage into studio, bringing together projections, animation, and an intimate shooting style to produce a distinctive new way of presenting dance on screen. Those who know Bourne's stage work will spot extracts from many of his biggest hits (including Swan Lake, Edward Scissorhands, and Nutcracker!), but for audiences less familiar with his work this is simply a journey through a series of magical worlds where stories are told through dance.
Ballet Girl
Deforme de nacimiento, un hombre amargado conocido únicamente como el Fantasma vive en las alcantarillas debajo del teatro de la Ópera de París. Se enamora de la solitaria cantante del coro Christine, y en secreto la coge bajo su tutela mientras aterroriza al resto de la gente de la ópera y demanda que a Christine le den papeles protagonistas. Las cosas van a peor cuando Christine se reencuentra con un conocido de su infancia, Raoul, y ambos se enamoran.
