Win Passes To The St. Louis Advance Screening Of BALLERINA

—- THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED —-

Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Ballerina follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.

The film brings together familiar faces and exciting new characters. Returning icons from the John Wick world are: The Director (Anjelica Huston), the formidable leader of the fearsome training ground / ballet school, the Ruska Roma; as well as Winston (Ian McShane) and Charon (Lance Reddick) as, respectively, the head and concierge of the hotel for assassins, The Continental New York and John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves.

At the same time, we’re introduced to intriguing characters new to the franchise, including the mysterious Daniel Pine (Norman Reedus), with whom Eve has a fateful encounter at The Continental Prague; and The Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne), the domineering head of a cult-like army of killers.

Under the direction of action maestro Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard, the Underworld films), BALLERINA puts a new spin on the action franchise’s hallmark elements, including high-level chases, never-before-seen propulsive set pieces, striking international locations, intricate fight choreography, and an arsenal of inventive weaponry — from ice skates and katana swords, to ice axes and flamethrowers.

Review: ‘Ballerina’

ballerinamovie

Travis:

‘Ballerina’ is a documentary by filmmaker Bertrand Normand that follows five ballerinas at the Kirov. The film delves into what it takes to become a ballerina and gives the audience an intimate look at the struggle that goes along with staying on top once you’re there.

The film, originally produced for television, details a personal and intimate portrait of Uliana Lopatkina, Evguenya Obraztsova, Alina Somova, Diana Vishneva and Svetlana Zakharova. These young women work extremely hard at becoming physically, mentally and emotionally expressive so that their performance conveys the most beautiful interpretations possible.

I am not personally interested in ballet, but I do accept and appreciate it as a form of art. While I am about as likely to rush out and purchase tickets for a live ballet performance as I am for an Opera, I can attest that this film truly grabbed and held my attention as it introduced me to the five characters and then led me through their lives as ballerinas. This is not a hard film to watch, however the approach taken does feel like a television program at times.

[Overall: 3.25 stars out of 5]
