Movie ReviewsBallet for all! ele@supernet.net | Florida | 12/30/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "This complete version of the ballet by Minkus was supervised entirely by Nureyev, not only a great artist and dancer but also a man of excellent visual imagination. There are no weird camera angles, a fault that is common in film presentations done by filmmakers who are unfamiliar with the unique requirements of dance. It also presents Nureyev in an unusual role in which he is allowed to capitalize on his quick, bright sense of humor. THIS MOST EXCELLENT BALLET VIDEO IS LIVELY AND DELIGHTFUL, AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY BALLETOMANE'S VIDEO LIBRARY OR THE PERFECT INITIATORY PRODUCTION FOR THE BALLET NEOPHYTE." Buy It! Scaramouche | Redlands, CA United States | 05/22/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This DVD is a spectacular restoration of one of the best ballet films of all time. It has a terrific performance by Nureyev, and features the great Lucette Aldous, a perfect match for Nureyev in charisma and technique. The DVD also has numerous bonus materials, including a "making of" documentary and side-by-side before-and-after scenes to illustrate the restoration. I also have the VHS and laser disk of this movie, and they are both dark and dirty looking compared to this beautiful DVD. It's really a great improvement and well worth purchasing." Nureyev's don quixote Scaramouche | 11/17/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This totally remastered version of this ballet shows Nureyev at his most brilliant. The DVD itself has biographies on the artists but best of all it has "the making of" 20 minute special showing how the film was put conceived by two of the ballet worlds creative artists, Nureyev and Sir Robert Helpmann. Not to be missed for the true balletomane." A must-see for all balletomanes Scaramouche | 02/12/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is my FAVOURITE ballet video. I can watch Nureyev forever and never get tired. The whole ballet is filmed like a movie. And because it's directed by Nureyev, there are no annoying extreme closeups of dancers' faces. Lucette Aldous, who dances Kitri, is like a firecracker, she never stops. And Robert Helpmann is a very chivalric Don Quixote."
