We watched “Center Stage” yesterday. The movie is about the life of ballet, the dancers, and their journey to success. The film is already 17 years old, but it’s definitely worth watching. Although it has elements of cheap teenage series from the last century. The final dance is simply a masterpiece. It takes up almost a third of the film, but it seems that it was the reason the other two-thirds were filmed.
The film features the young Ilia Kulik – an Olympic champion in figure skating. He plays a student at a ballet academy, one of the main roles. It was a surprise and quite astonishing for me to see him in a movie – three and a half years ago, our Masha was training with him (and Katia Gordeeva) in Los Angeles. This added even more interest to the movie.
