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.
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 😢
"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."
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.
2:24 i don't think Bolshoi would allow students to wear gaynor mindens, and also why is the smashing it? their shank and box are made of plastic so there's no point, they come broken in. Anyway i love Diane so i"ll be watching for sure lol
Black Swan was fiction, this is based on Joy Womack's real experience as the first American to graduate from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and only the second American to dance with the Bolshoi.
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
If whiplash and black swan had a baby
😂
haha genius!
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
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...
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
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!
I’ve never watched a movie about Ballet that isn’t toxic
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
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.

Nah ballet is really chill
just finished watching the movie. Had to come see the trailer. I loved it.

Just because you “hear” it doesn’t mean it’s all true.
Joy Warmack has her own CZcams channel and I used to watch her dance. :)
Give me more Talia Ryder movies 😉
This is beautiful. I hope it goes well.
A psychological thriller/ballet movie? Groundbreaking! Exciting though, all of them are
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 🙈 ?)
Stunning
Oh wow Joy Womack herself did the choreography for this and they have Natalia Osipova in it!
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
We have black swan at home
lololl 😂
Looks fun
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 👹
Nice to see a movie that's not a remake or reboot
"what happened to my sweet girl?" "SHES GONE"
can't wait!!
i love you actress
Love Diane Kruger. Not my cup of tea movie, but looks pretty intense. I'll watch
Omg! what is this movies release date? month? I literally have to see this movie.
I’ve never heard of this girl, but she is damn beautiful
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! :)
russian ballet-great idea at present time :))))
Look’s good
I Love Balet Movies and books
She looks like Winona Ryder's younger sister.
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
It reminds me of strange birds I believe that’s the name that came out in 2020
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.
Perfect
love
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.
Indie Center Stage
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
Diane Kruger is beautiful. She could play Marlene Dietrich.
; - )
She is having a great life with Norman Reedus
@@NovaNormal I don’t know anything about that but she’s gorgeous. She could be made up to look like several ‘old time’ or classic stars ⭐️
@@cynthiarouse and Norman Reedus left Helena Christensen and abounded his son Mingus for daine he just love her so much
@@NovaNormal sounds like a real selfish heel to me. Not my business. Maybe this movie is more like ‘Black Swan 🦢’ than they intended.
Watching films about ballet gives me PTSD from events I've never even experienced
This is Black Swan 2 in a nutshell.
about Ballet that isn’t toxic
When will it be out
this is giving me Black Swan vibes
watched a movie about Ballet that isn’t toxic
What are the names of the background music ?
Looks spectacular
Anyone see this?
I feel like her every day people are mean.. every day.. 😢😮
I’m sorry. There are good people out there. I wish you strength.
bout Ballet that isn’t toxic
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….
‘Youuu dance like… an Amerikann…’
whennnnn?
This looks good when does it come out ?
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 😢
are there no light hearted Ballet movies?
So this ballet movie doesn't involve a secret assassin
Average trailer 2 star vs average trailer 2 star 😮😮😮
Ballet and gymnastics. Both beautiful and toxic.
The trailer doesn’t mention it’s a true story.
"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😮
I'll just skip this a wait for the Red Sparrow sequel.
Black Swan 2
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.
wtf they showed all of the movie in that trailer…
Whiplash of ballet?
Except this is a true story.
i just hope it does not end up being a black swan's obsessive artist trope crtl c + crtl v
Mean Girls.
Looks a bit like Black Swan.
Not again. 🙄
I'm sorry you can;t make a movie about a ballet school in Russia and not have good Russian dancers in your movie
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.
Kruger used to be so hot...
Borys Szylc
Everytime there's a ballet movie you can rely on something horrible happening to their feet *shudders*
*Blackswan Russian Version*
There are no Russians here.
Anyone else think she has a striking resemblance to Phoebe Dynevor from Bridgerton?
Talia is more beautiful.
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.
Больше стереотипов богу стереотипов. Жаль за фигуру побулить забыли был бы фулсет
О, западу покажут базу российского спорта 😎🤌
Why is this just black swan
Ballet is
2:24 i don't think Bolshoi would allow students to wear gaynor mindens, and also why is the smashing it? their shank and box are made of plastic so there's no point, they come broken in. Anyway i love Diane so i"ll be watching for sure lol
I think most Russian ballerinas wear gaynor because of the lasting of the sole.
You can wear whatever suits you.
"But yiou dance like an american" is the greatest insult
Black 🖤 Swan wannabe. It will never come close.
Black Swan was fiction, this is based on Joy Womack's real experience as the first American to graduate from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and only the second American to dance with the Bolshoi.
Oh okay 👌 good to know ☺️
The movie about how cruel Russians make an American girl actually work...
That sounds familiar, oh yes, it was a film called the black Swan with Natalie Portman.😊
Except this is about an actual person
Why do they keep saying BULLshoi? When it’s BOLshoi?
Can we get movies about other professions like Air traffic controller or a pharmacist or a structural engineer etc etc
