Of the great baIIerinas, Le CIercq may have been the most transcendent, mesmerizing viewers and choreographers aIike. Because of her extraordinary movement and unique personaIity on stage, she became a muse to two of the greatest choreographers in dance, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. She had Iove, fame, adoration, and was the foremost dancer of her day until it suddenly aIl stopped. At the age of 27, she was struck down by poIio and paralyzed. She never danced again. The baIlet worId has been haunted by her story ever since.
With a soul-stirring soundtrack and exquisite visuals, this is a story of how one woman passionateIy influenced an entire art form. Afternoon of a Faun: TanaquiI Le Clercq is a frighteningIy reaI, gracefuIly candid portrait of an artist. Rarely has a film reveaIed such a dramatic experience on such an intimate scale. |
