"Dancer" is the erotically charged story of the Russian dancer
Rudolf Nureyev as told through the cast of those who knew him:
there is Anna Vasileva, Rudi's first ballet teacher, who rescues
her protege from the stunted life of his provincial town; Yulia,
whose sexual and artistic ambitions are thwarted by her
Soviet-sanctioned marriage; and Victor, the Venezuelan street
hustler, who reveals the lurid underside of the gay celebrity set.
Spanning four decades and many worlds, from the horrors of the
Second World War to the wild abandon of New York in the eighties,
"Dancer" is peopled by a large cast of characters, obscure and
famous: doormen and shoemakers, nurses and translators, Margot
Fonteyn, Eric Bruhn and John Lennon. And at the heart of the
spectacle stands the artist himself, willful, lustful, and driven
by a never-to-be-met need for perfection.
