bohemea: “Play the last measure very softly.” - Anna Pavlova’s final words Anna Pavlova died of pleurisy when she was 49. She was told that she would die unless she had an operation, but that the operation would leave her incapable of dancing. She said, “If I can’t dance then I’d rather be dead.” She died in bed while holding her Dying Swan costume in her arms.

Saw this movie again for the first time in a very long time, and was completely sucked in. The visuals alone are enough to divert, but, really, there is some fine acting and great depth to this film. I don’t usually expect that from films of this era, which largely contented themselves with satisfying formulas. This film is full of color and art and passion and conflict and beauty.
