Matthew Bourne's Christmas
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- This festive film celebrates Matthew Bourne's power to imaginatively transform ballet, taking dance and dancers off the stage into studio, bringing together projections, animation, and an intimate shooting style to produce a distinctive new way of presenting dance on screen. For those who know Bourne's stage work there will be a chance to spot extracts from many of his biggest hits but for audiences less familiar with his work this is simply a journey through a series of magical worlds where stories are told through dance.
Featuring extracts from many of Matthew's award winning productions including; Swan Lake, Nutcracker!, Cinderella and The Car Man - there are also dances taken from iconic early works Infernal Galop, Spitfire and Town & Country. Featuring literary and big screen nods too with a duet from the sexy Olivier Award winning Play Without Words (based on Joseph Losey's The Servant) produced for the National Theatre; Edward Scissorhands - adapted for the stage in collaboration with Tim Burton and the film's composer Danny Elfman, as well as a glimpse into the contorted, cursed world of Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray.

Is there ANYTHING Matthew Bourne can NOT imagine? But, if he COULD imagine it, be assured it would appear on stage!
After watching this all the way through, it strikes me that Bourne's ability to re-imagine familiar works is as important to imagine them. (I hope that sounds clearer than it looks on the screen!) The man is beyond brilliant . . . as are his dancers.
His Swan Lake is The Greatest!!!!
No matter how often I watch the "Swan Lake" excerpt here and other videos, I am so moved . . . .
I don't like everything Matthew Bourne does, but he sure comes up with more than his share of clever or funny stuff. His dancers are wonderful actor-actresses, too; and I liked the way this was filmed & edited. Thanks for posting this.
What an innovative Choreographer
Absolutely beautiful!💖 Filled my heart & soul with joy & gratitude!✨💖✨🙏✨
I do love the classical Ballets but his interpretation of them draws you in and there just brilliantly done. Im hooked.thank you for this.
Just can't understand why The Midnight Bell didn't receive the critical acclaim it deserved. It was wonderful and extraordinary!
Absolutely loved every bit.
Such creative dancing to traditional ballet music.
Matthew creates ballet for beyond the traditional classical performances for men. I enjoy his creativity towards what he envisions… woman like to see men also dance. Took ballet for 8 yrs but want good enough to become my profession. However I still enjoy it. ☺️👏🏻💕‼️
My favourite choreographer. I love Matthew Bourne's work.

What an artist...so romantic...so sensitive💗💚💚
Wow. The lighting and set were incredible. Those shadows! This was very, very interesting, gripping, and beautiful.
Ma,sve.Sve je divno.
Pure genius. And Christopher Marney's dancing is wonderful.
Matthew Bourne is a genius.
Innovative choreography that requires dancers to display acting skills for their roles. I loved that the table played a significant role in Play Without Words! Wonderful video!!
OMG wonderful just watching now
The men dancing in catalogue underwear is funny
Agree. And they highlighted the humor with choreography.
stunning.
Have seen Swan Lake 3 times , perfection , erotic , funny , heartbreaking , thrilling sublime
Возвышенно?Вы шутите?

Отличный : прекрасный и информативный фильм - сплошь пусть различные, но неизменное наслаждение
Неизменное или низменное наслаждение?
genius!
Thank you so much for bringing back so many happy memories. How splendid!
Simplesmente fantastiquee
Lindo.
Diferente e maravilhoso
it’s very campy and silly. Some parts are very enjoyable.
Согласна.
Ballet for grade schoolers: Easy peasy.
Ballet for adults: Hard as fk.
Grandioso, hermosa coreografía!,,
Bonitos chicos
Ohhhhhhhh, the cow-milking at 7:17?
Happy but sad to see some dancers no longer with us.
Yes, where are they, wonderfully talented, thank you for the joy of their performances
FABULOUS!!!! who is the dancer of the swan at 8:10? couldn't be Adam Cooper? A GREAT SHOW ANYWAY! THANK YOU!
Yes, Adam Cooper. He's had (and still having) a wonderful career in dance, singing, acting, choreography, producing and directing. He's also considered being a van delivery driver during COVID!
Reminds me of Agnes deMille
My only comment is I have never been front row in person. Kudos to the editor. But let me go I will pay San Francisco. Huge fan. I have your videos. Let me squeal live. Bravo
Хореография на высоком уровне, однако шокирует яркая гендерная направленность в картинах танца. Современные искажения в культуре.
🤣🤪
Why are they in their under crackerz? ;-)
These swans have 3 percent body fat.
Not an ounce of fat on that frame.
Why is it called Christmas? I am sorry, but I l just don't get it.
i dont understand what im watching
Слава Богу!Не всё ещё потеряно на грешной земле.Правда.
Koreografije Metjua Brnsa.
You're watching a new production of Swan Lake. It doesn't take away the traditional Swan Lake. Perhaps broaden your mind and accommodate new interpretations and not feel threatened.

@@user-oo5cd1fx3i please open your mind and not be soulfully threatened by another interpretation. God is in creation. There is nothing wrong in this interpretation of the ballet other than you feel it a spiritual insult. God isn't as narrow minded as you.
8.10 Мутанты притягивают! Но если бы не музыка Чайковского, кто-то стал бы смотреть это?
By what stretch of the imagination is this a “Christmas” program? This is sleazy and offensive. Yuck. I’m sorry to say that because the dancers are amazing and the choreography is extremely artistic. But no thank you.🤢
But you watched it 🤔🤔
Agreed. It is “classy” soft porn for gay men. Just sickening.
you must be an old granny. ooops
I've met clergymen and grannies less uptight than you. Pull the stick out.
@@av201 Musta been a terrible ordeal, forced to watch all 48:38 of this (at gun point?). One can only wonder how wet you were at the end. .
love the barefeet.
