Ghostlight

Summary Ghostlight is a hilarious albeit affectionate film about Martha Graham - one of the twentieth century's greatest dancers and choreographers. She was a brash nonconformist who bristled with passion, sexuality and wit. In an astonishing performance, Richard Move, a man nearly twice her size, portrays Martha with uncanny precision and deci...

It's hard to imagine anyone who isn't familiar with Graham and her place in 20th-century dance history getting drawn into Move and Herrmann's hall of Martha mirrors, but for the right viewer it's a fascinating exercise in self-reflexive mythmaking.

Real history and raunch poke through, but the thirtysomething Move is too vital to be Martha in her dotage. Amusing for insiders, Ghostlight may confuse everyone else.
