Yvette Chauvire: France's Prima Ballerina Assoluta

UPC: 089948447993

Studio: Video Artists Int'l

Summary: A note for the uninitiated: a prima ballerina assoluta represents the highest ranking of ballerina for women. Originally designated by the Italian Ballet Masters of the Romantic Ballet period, it is profoundly difficult to achieve; Frenchwoman Yvette Chauvir? fit the bill perfectly, however. A dancer adroit with numerous forms, from classical to romantic ballets, Chauvir? inspired countless artists and - some would argue - not only equaled but transcended the cr?me-de-la-cr?me of her chosen field. This 1987 documentary by director Dominique Delouche embodies one of the few filmed biographical portraits of Chauvir?. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
