-
Among the many pleasures are the lively intelligence of the artists and their perceptiveness about their own situations.
-
So it's not only how they dance, or even what they dance, but why they dance. And that makes Tavernier's movie muddled, simplistic and more than a little pretentious.
-
For the most part this is a dull, dour documentary on what ought to be a joyful or at least fascinating subject.
