| Reviews: An amazing film of a ballet that, given its use of various media, is perfectly suited for the cinema. "Amelia" visually articulates the ways in which gender is often performative. The ballet's fluid yet artificially "designed" bodies remind us of larger cultural categories, specifically how sexuality is itself fluid yet artifically choreographed by law/policy makers. The performers' bodies become robotic, hyper-mediated in, of all things, Armani suits. A wonderful, exciting film. And check out Billy Smith's and Zofia Tujaka's invigorating pas de deux. Smith is incredible. |
