He is magnetic!! I had to watch his dance with Gregory Hines three times so I could take my eyes off Mr. B.in order to watch the great Gregory Hines.
What is the name of this ballet? I know it’s Balanchine but which one??
It takes such control and precision to dance like Baryshnikov. He’s simply amazing!!
Watching Baryshnikov dance in this movie got me interested in seeing him in ballet! I love him! He is so amazing to watch how he uses his body!
IMHO, the best rendition ever of Roland Petit's choreography of Le Jeune homme et la Mort.
Magnificent. He has complete control of every muscle in his body. What an artist!
One of the BEST dance scene EVER!!! I was completely amazed when I first saw this as a teenager. It still gives me goose bumps! ❤️
Сейчас душа впорядке
ABSOLUTELY SO... I am exactly the same way as you are... (I love you... of course)
Same here. A life altering experience.
Agree 💯✨
I watch this again and again, such beauty and controlled movements. I wish he could stay this age forever.
It’s so amazing what the human body can do but this man there’s no words for him he is the best nobody even comes close to him !!!
Fantastic
Все очень сложно
3:56-4:07 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Baryshnikov has no equal! What great talent and passion for dancing! This is my favorite movie ever!
I'm no dancer, but even I can see how excellent this ballet is. Probably my favorite part of the entire film.
I can't keep my eyes off of him, simply amazing!
He was so energetic! I was amazed that he could dance like that as a smoker.
Exquisite 💔 Ohhhh, he is an Adonis and in full flight he is immortal. Thank you for your gift Mikhail 💜❤💙
The Greatest Of All Time
It's fascinating, the strength required for that level of muscle control. Wow.
Absolutely fantastic! What a brilliant performance, just a great as I remember as a young adult, and I am 77 now. What a joy to be able to see this scene again.
Thank you, it's very touching 😍
Enjoy, All the best for you Sandra ❤️❤️
I will never forget as the kid seeing this movie in the impact I had, even though I didn’t quite know why. And looking back as an adult watching this just brings tears to my eyes. I was so absolutely enthralled by Baryshnikov and Hines performance in this movie and this opening scene just foretells exactly what we are about to watch in White Nights. Absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful.
Le Jeun Homme et la Mort. The Young Man and the Death. What a mezmerizing choreography with perfect technique and emotion from my favourite dancer ever!
Getting to dance alongside someone that controlled, talented, and famous your either
1- this is my big break I’m going to dance with the best…
Or
2- I’m going to throw up.. OMG… heartache
Greatest dancer ever on earth !!!
Mikhail just drop jaw and a creation of exquisite proportion.
One should only be grateful for such a performance.speechless.words are meaningless...
İt's a more than pieces of art...is there anyone who can write any sentences for great bach...and such a great dancers...
He is the GOAT of ballet. Mind blowing.
❤young man and the death...beautifull..music!
He is BEAUTIFUL!!
How can anyone be this good?
Extremely hard work and an obsession with dance.
Recall seeing this in the movie theater. I was in tears with the beauty of this piece. Perfection Misha at his finest!
IMHO this is the most amazing interpretation of this ballet... it gives you the creeps, as if you're not just watching a ballet or a dance, but living there, living everything that this young man is experiencing... Mikhail is not only an absolute phenomenon of dance, but also an Artist with a capital letter...
for the purity of the experiment, I looked at other performances of this ballet, I remember the performance of Nureyev and Le Riche, but they also do not have such a presence in the role as Misha, the others are not about anything at all... I really hope that somewhere there is still a full version of this ballet performed by Baryshnikov
Well said. Misha is mainly focused on portraying emotions where others seem to concentrate more on performing the choreo perfectly. Misha does that, as usual, like he doesn't even have to think about it.
@@MMMa3 He is one with the music, always. Incomparable.
What's the dance or play??
@@fiddleback1568 movie "White Nights" the part from the ballet "Le Jeune Homme et la Mort"
@@user-tz6tw3ss3y Thank you.
He truly is the greatest dancer ever!!
That is staggeringly good piece of dance xx
The stage lighting is the unsung hero here. The whole scene is stunning.
He is perfection.
Wow, I hadn't seen this in years! I saw White Nights in the cinema when it first came out, and on tv a few years later and this dance blew me away then. I suddenly decided to search for it today on TH-cam. It's even better than I remember! Awesome!
The opening ballet sequence, Le Jeune Homme et La Mort, originally choreographed by Roland Petit in 1946 and performed anew by Baryshnikov and Florence Faure, was filmed at the Bristol Hippodrome.It tells the story of a young man hopelessly in love and driven to suicide by his a cruel and faithless mistress . Florence Faure, born in 1959 in Alger, is a Swiss dancer, classical dance teacher and creator of Atelier.le.loft. She began her career in Marseille in 1979 at the Ballet national de Marseille directed by Roland Petit.
Thanks for these interesting facts!
@@jeffreylara3835 - My pleasure!
Thanks for this insight! ❤
@@heatherframpton9693 - I love you
This is just fantastic. Really brings me back to the 80's. For those who don't know, the music is the orchestra instrumental of Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor by Michel Colombier, I believe. Also, the maiden of death ballarina is
Florence Faure. The ballet is "Le Jeune Homme et la Mort" by Roland Petit.
God he’s so GD good!
That's how I get out of bed in the mornings. 😁
Me too.
This is one of the most fantastically put together movis of dance, ever created. They are just magic these two dancers. I bow down to you both in awe x
Loved the movie, the dancing.. absolutely stunning!
Mikhail & Hines - brilliant!
Thank you for this! There has only been a part of this scene on TH-cam before. I have actually been onsite in Finland where they filmed parts of the movie, and met with Hines, Baryshnikov and Rosselini 🤩
OMG what a fabulous performance!!
Oh my LORD! the emotion! the control! BREATHTAKING performance!!
Beautiful, , culture, meaning, expression, feeling, deepness, projection, powerful, ... a valuable contribution.
Unbelievable artistry
Bravo! ✨
This movie just stays w me
God damn what control and balance 👏🏻I love her yellow dress. 3:45-4:08 is my favorite part of the song
Johann Sébastien Bach, Roland Petit, the superb orchestra, Baryshnikov, Florence Faure and great cinematography all combine to make this one of - if not THE best - ballet numbers ever committed to celluloid. If only the rest of the film approached this quality.
Thank you for posting this. Exquisite!
"Le jeune homme et la mort" (first Noureeev; but Baryshnikov is simply perfect)
El mejor bailarín de todos los tiempos. MARAVILLOSO!!!!
WOW! I have never seen this before and it is amazing! Now I need to see the whole film even if it isn't all just a ballet.
Fantastic dance scene . I got goose bumps , love it ♥
Mikhail Baryshnikov is really good at acting in ballet like he's still doing his rehearsals.
I remember "Le jeun home et la mort" de Roland Petit with his wife and the greatest🔝🤩👏Rudolf Nureyev
Incredible, is all one can say. The only thing better than this is later in the film, when he dances to Vysotsky's Capricious Horses .
VERY WONDERFUL !!!
My god, the control.
He must be simply FANTASTIC in bed..."Dance is the vertical expression of horizontal desire"
AMAZING!!!!!!!
The aestethic of the set is perfectly tailored to choreography. Absolutely love it!😍
The music is just as mind blowing as the dancing. FYI: Bach’s Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor BWV 582. A Passacaglia is basically a theme and variations - this one is the Mount Everest of Passacaglias! The underlying theme is repeated 21 times with 21 variations each one more complex and amazing than the last.
I used the sound as the theme to my outgoing phone message. It was worth it just for the response
I have never cared for ballet but have always loved Bach. This performance, though, is an exception. I saw it in the theater when it opened and it has impressed me ever since. Stowkowski's arrangement of an organ piece for orchestra is magnificent and even I, who knows nothing of dance, am blown away by the superb skill demonstrated by Baryshnikov. This never gets old.
MAGNIFICOOOOOO.....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤❤❤❤
7.28 oh my dear God this move is ...... speechless
Barishnikov Bruce Lee Strength skill dedication speed mastery. Love them both.
GRACIAS!!!!!
Imagine trying to shine with him as your dance partner?
Magnífico...el mejor
Танец Барышникова - это какое-то нереальное совершенство.
А тетка какая вредная. То пнет его, то толкнет, то дым в лицо)) Миша играет, а она - от души)
This is a beautiful ballet.
Simply incredible
Most artistic anti-smoking PSA ever! I always saw this interpretation of the dance as being a man addicted to cigarettes and the woman is the personification of the cigarette. Something that is deadly, and that the man knows will kill him, and yet he can't break free of the addiction, even though he tries, eventually killing himself due to his love of cigarettes.
I thought the same! 🚬❤️☠️💔
Absolutamente MARAVILHOSO !
Magistral escenografía y sublime puesta en escena 🎼🪄🩰✨🩰❤️❤️💯✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh my God. Amazing.
Dude's a machine
Wonderful!
Esplêndido não me canso de assistir nunca..
Nadie como él! Que bailarín y que capacidad de comunicar y expresar! Simplemente maravilloso y carismático!
Extraordinaria la interpretación
Forever BACH!
Mikhail Baryshnikov, enorme beleza e intensa sensualidade combinadas com graça e elegância impecáveis.❤
Simplesmente perfeito!
Today my father mentioned the Midnight sun. It made me think of this movie. Its been a long time since I last saw it, and I think that every time I see this dance it becomes better.
Thank you for sharing it.
Maravilhoso!
Sem palavras!
GOAT
Mikhail Baryshnikov esbanjando toda a sua sensualidade no auge de sua própria fama mundial como um grande e cobiçado símbolo sexual.❤
Malvellous ballet of Roland Petit!
Better than the mighty Nuyejyeve
No one will ever compare to Misha 🤍
Soleil de nuit . Magnifique film
O M G
impressive
Нет слов
Thank you Funny Dancer Ann ! From the time it came out until now . . .unforgettable . . .haunting.
May we know how you got/chose Funny Dancer : ) ?
Quel prodigieux danseur !
Fantastic dancing, what the he'll did any of it mean?
Anti-smoking commercial :)
When I saw the film in the cinema I had mixed feelings. Its anti-communism was a little bit too primitive for my taste, although I certainly wasn't a fan or the Soviet Union. But regard with regard to the dance scenes the film was absolutely perfect. And the performance of Le jeune homme et la mort was really the best dance scene I have ever seen.
