That�s what I thought. And "Romeo and Juliet" is still a ballet: read your post... (nt)

But...it was also a film... - Harmonia 19:03:28 07/31/05 (2)
Quite a famous film was made of this ballet very early after its creation and widely shown, both in Russia and eventually in the west.
It was the first look dance lovers (outside the Soviet Union) had of the great ballerina Ullanova,who, although apporaching middle age, gave a radiat performance as Juliet. It was a very influential film in its time within the dance/arts world since this was before the great Soviet companies were allowed to tour the West.
This version is seldom performed outside Russia today - the British choreographre Kenneth Macmillen's version of R&J is better known now.
- it was also a very violent modern film... - KT88 19:22:01 08/01/05 (0)
  starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. I am not sure who did the music but it used a lot of pop and rock songs from recent past with the original bands performing.
  I like weird stuff and so in addition to having that soundtrack, I also have a couple from David Lynch films. He used a great, modern composer who does some pretty spooky sounding tunes, Angelo Badalamenti. Even the name is creepy!

- A filmed ballet is still a ballet, not a movie, even if it�s played by Ulanova and Zandov, or by Fontaine and Nureyev.. - orejones 01:39:32 08/01/05 (0)
  ...as it was in a version which has been shown everywhere: both excellent, none of them a true film.
