(Flash Review)
If you are in the mood for one of those emotionally rich yet subtle dramas, about whatever, spoken in a foreign tongue than look no further. Polina has been raised by her parents to aspire to the upper echelon of classical ballet in her homeland of Russia. While successful, her passion pours out where she would rather create her own choreography than master someone else's. Her passion takes her to France much to her parent's dismay. France opens to her eyes to move styles of dance and people that with it have their own hurdles while she strives to follow her heart. Will she succeed? How hard will the roads be? Will her parents approve? This was an emotionally calm film with some nice cinematographic moments which kept me engaged throughout. This may sound ridiculous but it reminded me a little of the story arc of Coyote Ugly. Ha! Replace music with dance and American boldness for European restraint.
