White Nights – Nacht der Entscheidung (1985)

White Nights – Nacht der Entscheidung: Directed by Taylor Hackford. With Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gregory Hines, Jerzy Skolimowski, Helen Mirren. A Russian American ballet dancer’s airplane is forced to land in USSR, where he’s “repatriated”. He stays with an American man married to a Russian. Will the American help him flee USSR?

“Baryshinikov is the one of the best male dancers of all time. This movie allows you to see him up close and view his u0026quot;processu0026quot; for dancing. You canu0026#39;t help but watch in awe at his amazing athletic and physical feats… from the very first scene where you see him slowly lower his entire body from a headstand to lying down to seeing him dance u0026quot;en pointeu0026quot; in what appear to be a pair of u0026quot;Kedsu0026quot;. It isnu0026#39;t just seeing the dances that is amazing. It is the opportunity to see the dances from the perspective of an u0026quot;insider who is sitting right there next to him — as opposed to watching him from the audience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is dancing u0026quot;eye candyu0026quot; at its finest — my favorite escape movie of all time.”
