Traces the extraordinary life of Rudolf Nureyev from his birth in the 5th class carriage of a trans-Siberian train to his dramatic leap to freedom in the West at the height of the Cold War, and unprecedented adulation as the most famous dancer in the world. The film highlights Nureyev's unlikely yet legendary partnership with Margot Fonteyn and charts his meteoric rise to the status of global cultural phenomenon. Nureyev's life plays out like the sweeping plot of a classic Russian novel. (imdb)

The added dance sequences are quite a good idea and quite well done, but almost seem to be a cover for the fact that the filmmakers have greatly relied on existing materials, which they've rehashed into yet another documentary on this incredible dancer. The focus on US/Soviet relations and Nureyev's effect on them is poor and overdone, and music and editing are utilised in a stock standard way to add emotion to the narrative of his life, effectively treating the audience as five-year-old idiots.
