«Maurice Béjart's Nutcracker» is the ballet film directed by Ross MacGibbon (2008), with the Béjart Ballet Lausanne, on DVD.
Maurice Béjart reinterprets Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker and turns the classical ballet into an autobiographical evocation of his childhood: the work leaves St Petersburg to settle into Christmas memories laden with symbols. Recorded live at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, the performance combines dance, live music and stage design in a single show.
Single-disc DVD, running time 99 minutes, widescreen 1.78:1, original French sound and English subtitles.
For those interested in filmed ballet and in stage versions that give a personal reading of Tchaikovsky's Christmas classic.
