Ballet film I love the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and “The Nutcracker” I am ready to listen endlessly. Recently, I have seen many adaptations of this Hoffman fairy tale. The Soviet cartoon, the sweet product of the animation “Barbie and the Nutcracker”, the disgusting Russian version of “Our Masha and the Magic Nut”, as well as a control shot in the head of Konchalovsky – “The Nutcracker and the Rat King”.
The 1993 ballet production surpasses all of them combined. Well, without correction, the story is told. The scenery is magnificent: as if you were really in the theater, you can only see every movement of the dancers’ faces. I was especially impressed by the growing tree - it looked magical!
I really liked the game of the then little M. Kalkin and his partner J. B. L. Cohen. Nice little couple. The girl is very charismatic and sincere. That's the real Marie!
The whole film is a ballet, which is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. I highly recommend watching for children, especially girls. Beautiful music, bright outfits, graceful movements and only an hour and a half time. It is very important to distract children during the New Year holidays.
