He was a wonderful dancer,choreographer, actor and man. I keep watching this video to see him dancing and to listen to his voice! I have to be honest, Nureyev is my favorite ballet dancer I have seen him dancing Scheherazade in London in 1979, but now I can see where most of the greatness came from! I love and will cherish Erik Brunh's legacy! Thank you for posting this marvelous documentary!

For me Erik Bruhn was born with the best body for ballet in the world. His talent and artistry must be unsurpassed to this day. A divine gift and inspiration for all dancers. He hoped to mark somebody with his art. Well he certainly marked me forever. Also a wonderful person with a hypnotic voice. He's got it all. I would have queued all night for his autograph. Thanks for this documentary. Love to watch his every performance and read articles about him.

you put it well in "He's got it all". the doco gives a real insight into his character and dance ideas, doesn't it. i only saw him on stage once - in a character role, as Madge the Witch in 'La Sylphide' in a London Festival Ballet production - i didn't think to queue for an autograph - i should have!

@@JohnRaymondHall. Bruen was overshadowed by Nureyev because he was humble, modest and an introvert. Ironically it’s he who inspired Rudi. Rudi was an extroverted showman on and off stage. He went to nightclubs and danced all night long. Can you imagine Eric doing that? Eric’s reality was the ballet world. Rudi functioned in a few different worlds along with his self-promotion activities. It was just a matter of fact result of human nature along with advances in technology, mass media and PR agencies. Eric made things look effortless and perfect. Rudi was like a monsoon on stage mastering the wildness in him. He was passion and restraint. Eric’s elegance surpassed everyone else’s. Too bad he didn’t have a PR team and too bad he chain smoked. I wish I had seen him dance live. He was sublime.

Very nice. The ballet world is strange. They work like the dickens, and aim for perfection, but rarely feel they approach it. They are products of their age, & the style/expectations/costumes of that period. The Prime soon passes, and then it's on to character parts. Maybe they teach or coach then; and burn out. But they are all part of the long process of keeping Ballet alive, and making their little mark. Bruhn is very eloquent about the process, & self-aware. You can feel the solitary, intelligent, slightly difficult independence in him; & that adaptation to aging (which is SO difficult); and you can not NOT admire his work ethic & humility. He comes off as someone worth knowing (if he would have ever let you).. as well as a handsome and talented guy. A real Star.

I really wish there was more footage of Erik in the 1950s when he danced with, for instance, Alonzo. In the film from the late 60s (when a lot of this was shot) he was already 40 years old and his body looks like a shadow of what he was in the mid-50s when he seemed a lot more muscular. There are very few male dancers who look in peak form after the age of about 34 which Erik was in 1962. Certain roles like James in La Sylphide are really young men's roles.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful documentary. What a remarkable artist and thinker Erik Bruhn was. The purity of his lines has an innate quality that transcends his training. A most graceful man whose eloquence conveys a sense of being deeply alone in this world.

i Marys tucker. i too never knew about his focussed intelligence - like you saw him but just the once - sadly only in the mime role of Madge in 'La Sylphide' at London Festival Ballet in 1972

Not fully candid. Erik and Nureyev were passionate lovers for some time. Their different work schedules kept them apart.

true - i think their relationship was an open secret though. i thin Bruhn is quite self-deprecating and insightful about himself here :)

Not really. Erik simply did not want to be w anyone long term. He had his relationship and moved on. H e liked being alone. Really

pleasure - so many documentary just put the dancer on a pedestal - here, while seeing Bruhn's greatness there's a a sense of a fuller picture of the man.

It looks so much more beautiful if two women and two man dance together instead a man and a woman .

erik bruhn such a great dancer and a nureyev ex boyfriend ( nureyev cant love or get in love he broked people hearts) great artist dancer but bad person
@JohnRaymondHall7 жыл бұрын
"great artist dancer but bad person" - my view exactly! he was not good to his boyfriend in Russia - Teja Kremke - who filmed a lot of him at the Mariinsky from the auditorium
@bobinalimesova73296 жыл бұрын
you are wrong - maybe you do not have facts enough. From respected people who knew Rudolf Nureyev he was a warm hearted person and loyal true friend. When he defected in Paris he immediately called Kremke to join him..According to Kremkes sister who was a witness of those phone calls Kremke hasitated and then (as you may or may not know) Berlin wall was built ( it was the peak of cold war ) and he was trapped in East Germany. As for Rudolf - he for example supported Margot Fontayn when she had cancer - sending her huge ammounts of money, because she spent all her money on her huseband. Bad person? hm..

There is some news film of him when he was arrested with Fonteyn - drugs bust at a random party. Surrounded by clicking cameras and flash and journos shouting at him for comment and him completely cool, offering his face up to the cameras with slight smile, with subtle changes of angle and regard. I saw him on stage only when he shouldn't have been there: poor feet. Mainly taking bows. Fonteyn had to keep going for money and maybe he did, too, or maybe just couldn't help himself.
