Quick Review: Set in early '60s St. Petersburg and Paris, it represents the time period both beautifully and credibly, and its Russian flavor gives it a further sense of authenticity, but this semi-engaging real-life story of ballet sensation Nureyev's defection to the West surely won't appeal to male audiences due to its subject matter, and queery undertones, not to say that the protagonist is too selfish and arrogant to be likable, regardless Oleg Ivenko's devoted, if spark-less performance.
