Documentary master Frederick Wiseman's 38th film in a career that has spanned more than 40 years, turns his attention to one of the world's greatest ballet companies, the Paris Opera Ballet. The camera roams the vast Palais Garnier, an opulent 19th-century building: from its crystal chandelier-laden corridors to its labyrinthine underground chambers, from its light-filled rehearsal studios to its luxurious theater replete with 2,200 scarlet velvet seats and Marc Chagall ceiling. LA DANSE devotes most of its time to watching impossibly beautiful young men and women.
"An absolute treat for balletomanes." - Leslie Felperin, Variety
"One of the finest dance films ever made. A feast for ballet lovers.." A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"A JOYOUS EXPERIENCE! Fanatical artistic direction is the subject of Frederick Wiseman's LA DANSE..." - David Denby, The New Yorker
