I saw this ballet at the Kennedy Center with the Joffrey Ballet and the lecture by the couple on how they recreated it.

I love this

OMG, who wrote this?? These dialogues are hilarious, just amazing one-liners, humor way above your average silly movie. So entertaining and well acted and danced !

Olá

❤❤😂😂😂outstanding!!!!👏👏👏

Great dancing and enthusiasm!!❤

What happened to talent like this?

Wow!

Still not sure how they worked this routine into a musical about factory workers wanting a pay rise. I suppose most of the songs in this musical are totally irrelevant to the subject anyway.

One of the greatest dance numbers of all time!

"Politics is the crude wand that turns people into beetles. It removes their souls and substitutes newspaper headlines. They sit dreaming about everything in the world except themselves, about the government of China, Russia, and the correct thing for all other people to do or think. This amateur confusion is called social consciousness."' Such a quotable film. Ben Hecht was a genius.

oh how the tables have turned

Thank you for sharing! This is precious material.

Wonderful!

Need something way bigger than a simple thumbs-up for that masterpiece!!! Many thanks for sharing this

Thank you for sharing this historical masterpiece. Time for Joffrey to put it in a season and tour with it!

No words, it speaks for itself!

Outstanding! Thanks for posting.

Nowadays, the vast majority of movie theater projectors are only 1080p and running dim, while most TVs sold today, even the cheapest ones, are bright & 4K. The tables have turned.

freaky!!

Even to this day this is pretty damn weird.

I saw the Joffrey's production at City Center. I also met Irina Nijinska, who complained about the "reconstruction" by Millicent Hodson, as using American-Indian dance as a reference, which was totally different from early Slavic dance and totally inappropriate. I felt the big solo for Beatriz Rodriguez was not at all climactic enough. They made a valiant effort, but should have had dancers from the Ballets Russes do the re-creation.

I love everything about this. And the choreography/costumes are so captivating, so hypnotic!

This is wonderful stuff. Like so many others, I am fascinated and captivated by the Joffrey reconstruction - after discovering the video many years ago, no other danced version of Le Sacre that I've seen can satiate me in the same way. I couldn't care less about the notion of less-than-100% accuracy and gap-filling; ultimately it is as close as we're ever going to get to experiencing the phenomenal, devastating, ground-breaking original theatrical concept, and I'm 110% happy with that. I want so much to be able to see this production live on stage one day.

I remember studying this as part of my BA Studies many years ago at Uni....It was a Huge Leap (yes Pun intended!) in the history of Choreography / Ballet / Music Composition / Theatre. In hindsight one can clearly see why.

Just terrific--TY

I’ve seen more recent choreography with the original music live at the ballet but I would give a lot to experience the “original” choreography as well

i cry

This sketch Is so funny and yet so realistic in the way they talk about their emotions. Sid and Imogene were great!

Taron meets Mizore and Kanaya Maryam and Aqua and Will

The fucking work involved! This project wasn't worth it! I am so glad insane maverick genius people were there. This is simply brilliant..

I have known and loved Le Sacre since about 1965. I have heard many concert performances and many more recorded performances. After seeing this video I can no longer bear to experience this masterwork without this loving dance recreation. I am so grateful for the opportunity of seeing it!

👏👏👏👏

That was brilliant.

Ανεξάρτητα με το αν αυτή είναι η αυθεντική χορογραφία του Nijinsky, αυτοί οι άνθρωποι έχουν κάθε λόγο να είναι περήφανοι για τη δουλειά τους. Υποκλίνομαι μπροστά στη σοβαρότητα, το σεβασμό και την αγάπη με την οποία προσέγγισαν το θέμα και το αποτέλεσμα τους δικαίωσε πλήρως. Γιατί αυτό το μπαλέτο είναι ένα από τα πιο θαυμαστά θεάματα που έχω δει ποτέ. Και η Beatriz Rodriguez είναι το απόλυτο σφάγιο της θυσίας!

So, the lunatic turned out to be completely nuts.

Where can I find the original recording? Everyone says the “essa Pekka” recording is the best. I think it’s shit. This recording is the best

My god why do we not have the original tape online yet? Someone get off your ass and do it if you have access! People need to hear this orchestra the way it was supposed to sound.

OMG that birthday song!!

Formidable!!!

Ben Hecht produces "Pretentious Kitsch." Not one cliche missed. But, many thanks for posting. It is a must see.

The dancing in this film was outstanding and the direction, the script and most of the acting was very good. From what I’ve read: Hecht spent a shoestring budget on the flick too. A bit of shame that nothing much became of the two young actors.

I've watched this probably a dozen times and I never get tired of it. This time the former dancer in me came out and it must be such a nightmare to count. XD

Why is this not considered as great as Abbott and Costello’s ‘Who’s On First’? They even did it longer without breaking.
