Slow Dancing In The Big City (1978)

뉴욕 발레단에 소속된 니나(나탈리 포트만)는 전직 발레리나 출신인 엄마 에리카(바바라 허쉬)의 총애를 받으며 모든 것을 발레에 바치고 있다. 예술 감독 토마스 리로이(뱅상 카셀)는 백조와 흑조라는 베스(위노나 라이더)를 새로운 시즌의 오프닝 작품 백조의 호수에서 강판시키고 니나를 발탁한다. 하지만 순수하고 나약한 백조 연기에 비해 관능적이고 도발적인 흑조를 연기하는 데에는 어딘지 불안한 니나. 게다가 새로 입단한 릴리(밀라 쿠니스)는 니나처럼 정교한 테크닉은 없지만, 무대를 압도하는 카리스마와 관능미로 은근히 비교 대상이 되는데...

꿈 많은 발레리나 케이트는 장학금을 받아 파리의 한 명망 있는 발레 학교에 입학한다. 최근 남동생을 잃은 같은 학교 학생 마린은 입학하자마자 케이트의 자신감을 시험한다. 처음에는 적대적이었지만, 파리 오페라 발레단 입단을 위해 물불을 가리지 않는 이들은 점차 감정 가득한 경쟁의 동맹이 되어가는 한편, 거짓말과 성적인 발견에 위협받는 관계가 된다.

영화와 무대를 오가던 스타 토니 헌터는 자신이 한물갔다는 느낌을 갖는다. 그의 친구 레스터와 릴리는 토니의 완벽한 컴백 무대가 될 공연을 제안하고, 토니도 동참하기로 한다. 하지만 거물급 연출가 제프리 코르도바가 합류해 극에 ‘파우스트’의 음울한 재해석을 가미하면서 토니는 불안에 빠진다. 뮤지컬과 쇼 비즈니스의 세계를 찬양한 영화로 이미 쉰을 넘긴 프레드 아스테어에 대한 미넬리의 오마주가 담긴 작품. 은막의 스타가 뮤지컬 세계로 복귀하는 과정을 통해 뮤지컬의 매혹을 그리고 있다. 프레드 아스테어와 시드 채리스가 공원에서 달빛을 맞으며 춤을 추는 장면과 필름누아르를 뮤지컬의 춤과 음악으로 표현한 영화 후반부 장면이 환상적이다.

제2차 세계대전 중 휴가를 나온 로이 대위는 복귀를 앞두고 워털루 다리를 산책한다. 공습 경보가 울려 대피소로 향하던 로이는 마이라라는 아름다운 여성과 만난다. 발레리나인 마이라는 로이 대위와 사랑에 빠지지만 로이는 곧 전쟁터로 호출되는데... 비비안 리의 청순한 모습을 만날 수 있는 마빈 르로이 감독의 작품으로, 국내에서 할리우드 멜로 드라마의 고전으로 알려졌다.
