Why Watch This

“Directed by arts filmmaker Tony Palmer, the documentary looks beyond public glamour to reveal the true vulnerability of the dancer. A central highlight is its extensive exploration of Margot Fonteyn's legendary onstage partnership and deep friendship with Rudolf Nureyev, a pairing that revitalized both of their careers and created a historic artistic chemistry.”
