Superb dancing!

"Not sure why this film has gotten such low ratings. It's about the dancing not the acting. They used prima ballerinas and of course the incomparable Baryshnikov. The ballet company is making a film version of Giselle and the characters in their off-stage lives are mirroring the story of Giselle. Baryshnikov is the the playboy going through women with the same charm and lines. Frankly, you could fast-forward through the dialog and just skip to the dance sequences. They are incredible. The camera work on the dancing is admirable. Long shots so you can see the dancers' entire bodies, se..."

💡 Did You Know?

The flower Lisa has tattooed on her hip is a daisy which is usually the flower used in the game "He loves me, he loves me not" or "She loves me, she loves me not." This game is of French origin and is the way Giselle determines if Albrecht really loves her. It begins with the first petal picked representing "he/she loves me" and whatever the last petal picked says is the truth of how the person's love interest really feels about them. The last petal on Giselle's daisy was "he loves me not." Like Giselle, the last petal on Lisa's daisy tattoo is "he loves me not."
