"Nils Tavernier a voulu montrer le travail des danseurs de l'Opéra de Paris dans sa diversité, sa complexité et sa richesse et faire partager aux spectateurs le magnifique et sensuel élan vital qui anime ce groupe d'artistes athlètes. Ce film en mouvement, où s'exprime l'émotion de la parole et du corps, est constitué d'interviews, de scènes de la vie quotidienne, de prises de vues en séances de travail et de représentations dans différents ballets, classiques et contemporains."
"Celebrates the legacy of the famed Paris Opera Ballet by weaving together rehearsals, interviews and snapshots as the dancers work on classical ballets as well as contempary works. Delve into the psychology of dance by talking candidly with some of the biggest stars in dance today, who give perspectives on how and why they endure the emotional and physical hardships of the drive to be on stage."
"Documentary on the Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris [Paris Opéra Ballet], filmed in 1999 over a period of three months. The film begins in April 1999 with the company's guest engagement in Japan, then moves back to Paris and the company's two performing venues, the Opéra Garnier and the Opéra Bastille. Various aspects of a dancer's life are explored against a background of classes, rehearsals, and performances. Topics include the dancers' love for their art despite the hard physical work it entails ; their rigorous training (illustrated by scenes of classes at the company's school in Nanterre) ; the artistic challenges offered by the company's varied repertory ; the dancers' co-existing sense of camaraderie and isolation ; the dichotomy between growing artistic maturity and waning physical ability ; the prospect of retirement from performing. The documentary captures the farewell performance of étoile Elisabeth Platel, and her speech at the ensuing party."
