Rudolf Nureyev: Dance to Freedom
Overblown Account of Rudolph Nureyev's Defection to the West in 1961
Combining re-enacted drama with testimony from Nureyev's ex- colleagues and friends in the Kirov Ballet, as well as in Paris, Richard Curson Smith tells the story of the virtuoso's defection from the Soviet Union during the company's first European tour.
Ever since his earliest days at the Kirov, Nureyev was always a rebel.

Rudolf Nureyev. Island of His Dreams
Lovely new film about Rudolf Nureyev!
Rudoph Nureyev! A legend of the ballet! It is difficult to count how many films have been produced about him, and how many books have been issued. And suddenly! Here is a new documentary! It seemed that we knew all the details of Rudolf's life, his non-stop dancing all over the world, his family, his friends, his surroundings...... But here we get to read an unknown page of his life, with the generous help of Evgenia Tirdatova and Neil McCartney who have produced the film "Rudolf Nureyev. Island of His Dreams". This is a Russian/Turkish co-production which focuses on the frequent trips that Nureyev made to Turkey between 1980 and 1990. Anyone who feels any element of beauty (the beauty of ballet dances and characters, the beauty of nature, the beauty of people's relationships) should see this lovely movie.
