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. 🙃
My mother did ballet and she said that she had to check her pointe shoes every time she danced. She also had to check the stitching on her costumes too.
very sad what your mother had to go through... but it kinda shows the mentality of those that would do crap like this... they don't think they have enough talent, so they have to jeopardise another dancer's career to come out on top....
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 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 film was written and directed by James Napier Robertson who is a New Zealander, and produced by British and New Zealand media companies so you can leave our name out of this one, thank you. 💙
Is Diane Kruger's character supposed to be russian? The name of the character suggests so, but she is saying the word 'American' with an 'r' that resembles how the French say 'r'. It does not at all sound like a russian accent because there are just no sounds like that in russian. So if Diane is portraying a 'strong russian accent' it doesn't sound like one at all
If you overdub the audio from the Black Swan trailer onto this trailer you wouldn't know the visuals and audio were from two separate films. "What happened to my sweet girl?"..."She's gone!"
Is it supposed to be a quasi-sequel to the Black Swan (2011)? The teaser gives the impression of similar storylines of the pursuit of perfection...and somewhat similar composition... only in different contexts. Can Hollywood ever get over itself?
"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."
This is so weird. I used to watch Joy's vlogs when she was at the Bolshoi academy and afterwards, when she was dancing for the kremlin ballet in moscow. Didn't look half this dramatic lol. But I didn't wonder what the full story behind her leaving was.
Why they use a german/american actor for a russian role. Great movie. But give a chance, that russian actors plays russian roles, or arabian actors plays arabian roles etc. it is easy to find good actors. Let Diana Kruger plays a german or american roles, and not train to speak english with russian acent.
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 😢
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
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 😉
There is a reason why Baryshnikov defected. More interesting to me is the fact that he learned English from Alvin Alley. Would that there was video of Misha performing with Judith Jamieson in Pas de Duke.
I always find irritating when American actors are trying to speak English with some foreign accent like Russian. This type of movie would be far better off with native speakers.
I really hate this. Like a lot of dancers, I've been lucky enough to study many places -- including Russia -- and have always been treated with kindness and friendliness. When is this tired trope going to die??????
@@AutumnOceanSky I'm pretty sure many people DO have great experiences travelling the world and studying and dancing in different countries. I think it's sad that virtually the only ballet story we see invariable shows girls/women either stabbing each other in the back or at each other's throats. It's such a lazy, boring narrative that we've seen over and over and over.
0:14 sorry but as a ballerina it’s so funny that they were breaking in gaynor mindens as if they were traditional ones and as if gaynors weren’t basically forbidden in russia, loved the movie tho just a little detail😭😭

Ballet is my favorite thriller genre
Suspiria and the red shoe
Lol😂
I got hooked when I saw Black Swan and since then I never missed a ballet movie or rarely a performance in my town
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
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
We know.
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
Ну Джой совсем не сломлена! Она достаточно сильная балерина, с крепким здоровьем, раз столько выдержала. Вы не знаете, что такое "сломленный".
If whiplash and black swan had a baby
😂
haha genius!
Birds of paradise?
its center stage but for anxious, sad people
Can't get enough dance movies. It shows the training a combination of athleticism and art
I love Diane Krueger! Excellent actress!
Diane kruger she is a brilliant actress,I love movies with her.
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...
Los rusos y los asiáticos son crueles a la hora de enseñar está disciplina.😊
I had a Russian fencing teacher that was toxic af as well, no wonder they start senseless wars all the time, they are miserable 😂
@@YolandaHalfAlmonde Luckily, Americans are not toxic and don't start any wars

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.
Didnt realise this movie was a true story until the end.its so amazing the dance moves are fire
just finished watching the movie. Had to come see the trailer. I loved it.
Glass in the point shoes. A classic 😂
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
Shall we add it to the Olympics?
@@HelloKitty-kb7ji It wont be bad, you have figure skate, gymnastic, and now lol even skateboarding
Ballet movie make ballet seem so cultish, like you can't get why it's so intense unless your in it

Nah ballet is really chill
Because ballet is kind of cultish lol. If you're a ballet dancer, your entire life is ballet/ballet adjacent activities.
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
I've watched her on TH-cam forever! So glad she's getting her flowers. It's a little black swan dramatic but I'm still here for it!
A psychological thriller/ballet movie? Groundbreaking! Exciting though, all of them are
Give me more Talia Ryder movies 😉

Just because you “hear” it doesn’t mean it’s all true.
Joy Warmack has her own TH-cam channel and I used to watch her dance. :)
Nice to see a movie that's not a remake or reboot
Lol I love that ballet movies are always like scary, intense, horror, thrillers, etc. 😂
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 🙈 ?)
So bad. Sounds german. 😂😂😂
@@trancos7641 they always mix up those accents in movies, so I‘m not surprised 😅
@@EmilySC23 🤣
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

😂😂😂 godd one
"what happened to my sweet girl?" "SHES GONE"
“I just wanted to dance” super reminiscent of “I just wanted to be perfect” in Black Swan.. i’m seated
This is beautiful. I hope it goes well.
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 👹
Inspiring ❤❤Back watching the trailer!
But this was a beautiful movie about obsession, drive & beauty. Gorgeous & riveting.
We have black swan at home
lololl 😂
Brilliant movie.
This movie really got to me
Definitely got to see!
Just watched it and it was brilliant
We love a ballet movie!
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.
Păi, da baletul inseamna multe ore, zile, anii de muncă sacrificii privind viața personală si iti cere dragoste fara limite!
can't wait!!
How can we access, watch this movie?
Обожаю балет❤
Wooo, Borys Szyc is in this movie! :)
Joy Womack is amazing, a truly marvel and she is really strong and determined. She has a youtube channel
It's weird because Joy has her own YT channel. It's got to be trippy to see your own (very recent) life melo-dramatized!
FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for this
Black swan + Birds of Paradise
Where can I watch this please
Look’s good
Oh wow Joy Womack herself did the choreography for this and they have Natalia Osipova in it!
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.

Where can one watch it?
When will it be out
Watching films about ballet gives me PTSD from events I've never even experienced
"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😮
When is this movie coming to cinema's? I'm in North America, e.g. Canada. We get everything the same time as the U.S.
This is so weird. I used to watch Joy's vlogs when she was at the Bolshoi academy and afterwards, when she was dancing for the kremlin ballet in moscow. Didn't look half this dramatic lol. But I didn't wonder what the full story behind her leaving was.
or they just exaggerated it for the movie cause real stories rarely can be sold. I also watched her and it didn't look bad at all.
Looks fun
This is a real story...
I was going to make a Whiplash reference - but looks like this is based on a true story. Go ahead then.
i love you actress
At least there was a little bit of speaking French, I hate it when they don’t have that in these kinds of films.
Anyone know the music in this trailer? Like the one in the first part?
Lock And Key by Hypersonic music
She looks like Winona Ryder's younger sister.
She reminds me of Italian actress Elisa del Genio
Looks spectacular
Anyone see this?
Muy buena pelii

What accent is Diane Kruger trying to do?
this is giving me Black Swan vibes
When does it come out?😆
It reminds me of strange birds I believe that’s the name that came out in 2020
I’ve never heard of this girl, but she is damn beautiful
I feel like her every day people are mean.. every day.. 😢😮
I’m sorry. There are good people out there. I wish you strength.
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.
I thought Suspiria was pretty wholesome, actually

There is a reason why Baryshnikov defected. More interesting to me is the fact that he learned English from Alvin Alley. Would that there was video of Misha performing with Judith Jamieson in Pas de Duke.
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
I Love Balet Movies and books
Это давление касается всех, а не только бедной девушки, которая приехала издалека (и скорее, её касается меньше всего)
она жила в доме на Набережной, уж за такие бабки можно было и пострадать) А если страдать не хотелось - всегда можно уйти.
I'm SO glad I was never put in ballet. It seems SO brutal.
I always find irritating when American actors are trying to speak English with some foreign accent like Russian. This type of movie would be far better off with native speakers.
Ballet and gymnastics. Both beautiful and toxic.
