Snow White

Choreographer Angelin Preljocaj's Snow White is, quite simply, stunning. With costumes by one of my favouritest designers ever, Jean-Paul Gaultier, this sure ain't Disney. I also really liked the actual filming, which is pretty rare for me and dance flicks. While the choreography stayed a bit more classical than I tend to like, I was completely engaged from beginning to end. Among my favourite moments is the introduction of the dwarves - very clever and visually exciting. And had I been in a less cynical time of my life, I would surely have joined the snifflers who dotted the audience during the Prince's dance of despair/Snow White's reawakening. A very beautiful (and more than a little lascivious) way to start the day!
