This is a true story, Joy Womack is the dancer portrayed here and she was the first American to graduate from The Bolshoi Ballet Academy and only the second America to dance with the Bolshoi.
Oh man. I was in a ballet academy was I was younger. Directed by a Russian teacher. My mom eventually pulled me out... but 15+ years later I'm still recovering from the trauma. 🙃
As a pro ballet dancer I know this film is going to be all over the dance world. I just watched Challengers today, all about tennis. Nice to see a ballet movie coming though I don't consider it a sport but an art. It will be interesting to watch!😍
Because ballet has been around for centuries now and people who are in that kind of world take pride in the tradition, which makes it the most competitive style of dancing.
Because it's extremely hostile towards the body and at the same time extremely competetive : there are very few theaters and there are a lot of dancers. So, after they sacrificed many years practicing, starving and aggresively stretching they find out that all that sacrifice isn't nearly enough for success. There are just a couple of theaters in a country and there is only one prima in each theater. So yeah, it's a matter of life and death for them. No one wants to dedicate all the childhood and youth to the agressive painful training and then find out that one's career consists of being a background no-name dancer (if you are lucky enough to be in the theater at all).
Cannot wait to see this. Yes, I hear so much about glass in the pointe shoes and half cutting ribbons so they break when you mid performance, calling you by your weight and not your name (47 kilos), drawing on your 'fat' bits with magic marker, telling you to smoke for weight loss. Ice skating is ruthless too; carry your bag with you everywhere or your rivals bang the blades on concrete to blunt them. Either that or slash your costume.
There is a reason why Baryshnikov defected. More interesting to me is the fact that he learned English from Alvin Alley. Would that there was video of Misha performing with Judith Jamieson in Pas de Duke.
Is it supposed to be a quasi-sequel to the Black Swan (2011)? The teaser gives the impression of similar storylines of the pursuit of perfection...and somewhat similar composition... only in different contexts. Can Hollywood ever get over itself?
"The Bolshoi Theatre was our best global brand," says composer Vladimir Martynov bitterly. "Unfortunately, it has decayed, and like everything in our country, it's like a rotten Fabergé egg-golden and diamond-studded on the outside, but rotten inside."
The film was written and directed by James Napier Robertson who is a New Zealander, and produced by British and New Zealand media companies so you can leave our name out of this one, thank you. 💙
The 'foreign(er)' being pushed to prove if the, "soulfulness within" is authentic enough to pass off as, uhm, "pure" or the other way around perhaps...😅J.K Simmons and Miles Teller vibes 😉
This is going to be scary….Russian ballet academy is the most prestigious and hard to get into and they make you dance your feet off and it's discouraged to have a relationship 😢
This is so weird. I used to watch Joy's vlogs when she was at the Bolshoi academy and afterwards, when she was dancing for the kremlin ballet in moscow. Didn't look half this dramatic lol. But I didn't wonder what the full story behind her leaving was.
Cause they're not rehearsing Swan Lake to present it at the end. And the american technique is different from the Russian, and here they're focusing on the second one.
Highly suggest people to look up Joy Womack, who this movie is based on and her interview with The New York Times at the very start of her career. Yes, the Bolshoi is run like a brothel.
The Americans: Spy drama show about Russian KGB spies living in the United States. The American: Ballet drama film about an American ballet dancer training in a Russian academy.
Кино
I’ve never watched a movie about Ballet that isn’t toxic 😂😭
They are really all the same
The least toxic is the animated movie "Ballerina"
lol facts 😂😂😂😂
Center Stage is not toooo bad IMO
Ballet and jealousy comes hand in hand
Ballet is my favorite thriller genre
Suspiria and the red shoe
Lol😂
This is a true story, Joy Womack is the dancer portrayed here and she was the first American to graduate from The Bolshoi Ballet Academy and only the second America to dance with the Bolshoi.
Hopefully the dancers serve cause joy is a beautiful dancer
Hollberg David.
Wao 💖🥰
Yes. But the biggest part of the trailer was not real. I watched her interview
We know.
If whiplash and black swan had a baby
😂
haha genius!
Birds of paradise?
its center stage but for anxious, sad people
Why are movies about broken artists always so beautifully filmed and directed ? This one seem to be no exception to the rule
Because art is beautiful
Because people fetishize pain
Ну Джой совсем не сломлена! Она достаточно сильная балерина, с крепким здоровьем, раз столько выдержала. Вы не знаете, что такое "сломленный".
Oh man. I was in a ballet academy was I was younger. Directed by a Russian teacher. My mom eventually pulled me out... but 15+ years later I'm still recovering from the trauma. 🙃
I'm still recovering at age 41...
Los rusos y los asiáticos son crueles a la hora de enseñar está disciplina.😊
I had a Russian fencing teacher that was toxic af as well, no wonder they start senseless wars all the time, they are miserable 😂
@@YolandaHalfAlmonde Luckily, Americans are not toxic and don't start any wars
@@taniaishere😂😂😂
Can't get enough dance movies. It shows the training a combination of athleticism and art
Black Swan: Russian Edition?
Yes
Black swan was actually good
Exactly 😂
This is a story true
Black swan in a Russian version through American eyes.
Glass in the point shoes. A classic 😂
I love Diane Krueger! Excellent actress!
Diane kruger she is a brilliant actress,I love movies with her.
As a pro ballet dancer I know this film is going to be all over the dance world. I just watched Challengers today, all about tennis. Nice to see a ballet movie coming though I don't consider it a sport but an art. It will be interesting to watch!😍
I agree 100%. Ballet is an art and an art that deserves much more respect.
Ballet is clearly a Sport and saying that danse isn’t à Sport show clearly that you do know nothing about it
Shall we add it to the Olympics?
@@HelloKitty-kb7ji It wont be bad, you have figure skate, gymnastic, and now lol even skateboarding
Ballet movie make ballet seem so cultish, like you can't get why it's so intense unless your in it
Because ballet has been around for centuries now and people who are in that kind of world take pride in the tradition, which makes it the most competitive style of dancing.
Facts

Nah ballet is really chill
Because ballet is kind of cultish lol. If you're a ballet dancer, your entire life is ballet/ballet adjacent activities.
I’ve never watched a movie about Ballet that isn’t toxic
I've frequently seen people copy/paste other comments in hopes of getting likes.
Didnt realise this movie was a true story until the end.its so amazing the dance moves are fire
just finished watching the movie. Had to come see the trailer. I loved it.
A psychological thriller/ballet movie? Groundbreaking! Exciting though, all of them are
Give me more Talia Ryder movies 😉
This is beautiful. I hope it goes well.
Dude I was so taken aback seeing Borys Szyc but then I saw at the end this is a Polish co-production, now all makes sense lmao
Joy Warmack has her own RUclips channel and I used to watch her dance. :)
We have black swan at home
lololl 😂

Just because you “hear” it doesn’t mean it’s all true.
Last ballet movie I saw was Abigail
I was waiting for one of them to turn into a monster
Hahahaha… that’s a good one! Also no need to wait, they’re already a monster 👹
are we gonna ignore diane kruger’s accent???
Why is she playing a Russian instructor though 😂 ? ( Love Diane as an actress, but was noone available with a more authentic accent 🙈 ?)
So bad. Sounds german. 😂😂😂
@@trancos7641 they always mix up those accents in movies, so I‘m not surprised 😅
Stunning
Nice to see a movie that's not a remake or reboot
Looks fun
Love Diane Kruger. Not my cup of tea movie, but looks pretty intense. I'll watch
I've watched her on RUclips forever! So glad she's getting her flowers. It's a little black swan dramatic but I'm still here for it!
"what happened to my sweet girl?" "SHES GONE"
Păi, da baletul inseamna multe ore, zile, anii de muncă sacrificii privind viața personală si iti cere dragoste fara limite!
Wooo, Borys Szyc is in this movie! :)
can't wait!!
This I need to watch
We love a ballet movie!
i love you actress
It reminds me of strange birds I believe that’s the name that came out in 2020
Just watched it and it was brilliant
Omg! what is this movies release date? month? I literally have to see this movie.
i used to watch her vlogs lol
whose?
@@shougokawada8491 joy womack's
@@shougokawada8491 Joy Womack is the real life dancer being portrayed in this film. She used to vlog about her time in Russia.
I Love Balet Movies and books
Look’s good
She looks like Winona Ryder's younger sister.
She reminds me of Italian actress Elisa del Genio
Its based on the real story. The real girl has the same name as in the movie. You can find her interview on the internet. Interesting girl
Perfect
Watching films about ballet gives me PTSD from events I've never even experienced
This is a real story...
At least there was a little bit of speaking French, I hate it when they don’t have that in these kinds of films.
How can we access, watch this movie?
I'm SO glad I was never put in ballet. It seems SO brutal.
The trailer doesn’t mention it’s a true story.
Indie Center Stage
where can i watch?
When will it be out
There is a reason why Baryshnikov defected. More interesting to me is the fact that he learned English from Alvin Alley. Would that there was video of Misha performing with Judith Jamieson in Pas de Duke.
I'll just skip this a wait for the Red Sparrow sequel.
Looks spectacular
Anyone see this?
When does it come out?😆
Another black swan🧐
‘Youuu dance like… an Amerikann…’
this is giving me Black Swan vibes
I feel like her every day people are mean.. every day.. 😢😮
I’m sorry. There are good people out there. I wish you strength.
watched a movie about Ballet that isn’t toxic
Ballet and gymnastics. Both beautiful and toxic.
What accent is Diane Kruger trying to do?
about Ballet that isn’t toxic
Is it supposed to be a quasi-sequel to the Black Swan (2011)? The teaser gives the impression of similar storylines of the pursuit of perfection...and somewhat similar composition... only in different contexts. Can Hollywood ever get over itself?
I’ve never heard of this girl, but she is damn beautiful
"The Bolshoi Theatre was our best global brand," says composer Vladimir Martynov bitterly. "Unfortunately, it has decayed, and like everything in our country, it's like a rotten Fabergé egg-golden and diamond-studded on the outside, but rotten inside."
oooo brilliant quote😮
One day americans will film a movie about Russia without using dark blue filters and the world will collapse
Or make them like the good guys, that's also a bad sign lol
The film was written and directed by James Napier Robertson who is a New Zealander, and produced by British and New Zealand media companies so you can leave our name out of this one, thank you. 💙
😂😂😂 godd one
What are the names of the background music ?
It's great to be Adam Sandler he does all the casting and gets to go on location and make out with Brooklyn Decker and Jennifer Aniston
😊
Diane Kruger’s accent….
😂😂😂 bad, right?
The 'foreign(er)' being pushed to prove if the, "soulfulness within" is authentic enough to pass off as, uhm, "pure" or the other way around perhaps...😅J.K Simmons and Miles Teller vibes 😉
If you look at Russian Ballet it is just another form of hell for those involved but with a standing ovation.
Joy Womack Story 🥹🥹🥹
This is going to be scary….Russian ballet academy is the most prestigious and hard to get into and they make you dance your feet off and it's discouraged to have a relationship 😢
This is Black Swan 2 in a nutshell.
This is so weird. I used to watch Joy's vlogs when she was at the Bolshoi academy and afterwards, when she was dancing for the kremlin ballet in moscow. Didn't look half this dramatic lol. But I didn't wonder what the full story behind her leaving was.
So this ballet movie doesn't involve a secret assassin
russian ballet-great idea at present time :))))
Get over it
pretty sure the same music was in the last trailer I just watched...
whennnnn?
This looks good when does it come out ?
Average trailer 2 star vs average trailer 2 star 😮😮😮
how is it different from Black Swan?
It’s based on an actual person
It's Diane Krugger abusing the dancer, not Vincent Cassel
black swan is a horror movie and this isn't.
@@AliceP. oh, that's a big difference. It changes everything!
Cause they're not rehearsing Swan Lake to present it at the end. And the american technique is different from the Russian, and here they're focusing on the second one.
are there no light hearted Ballet movies?
She is so me i swear
Why is this just black swan
Highly suggest people to look up Joy Womack, who this movie is based on and her interview with The New York Times at the very start of her career. Yes, the Bolshoi is run like a brothel.
Everytime there's a ballet movie you can rely on something horrible happening to their feet *shudders*
Not again. 🙄
Whiplash of ballet?
Except this is a true story.
The Americans: Spy drama show about Russian KGB spies living in the United States.
The American: Ballet drama film about an American ballet dancer training in a Russian academy.
Russian precision? WHAT
wtf they showed all of the movie in that trailer…
Black Swan 2
Looks a bit like Black Swan.
i just hope it does not end up being a black swan's obsessive artist trope crtl c + crtl v
