1991 film by Peter Sellars

A documentary film about dancing on the screen, from it's orgins after the invention of the movie camera, over the movie musical from the late 20s, 30s, 40s 50s and 60s up to the break dance and the music videos from the 80s.

In the film, Swedish choreographer Mats Ek follows one of his themes: that of exploring the bodies of mature dancers. The fragile beauty of the aging body language is touching and exciting, as interpreted by two virtuosos.
