DVD review: Margot

Watched BBC4 drama 'Margot' yesterday, i wasn't really impressed by this movie about Margot Fonteyn. Maybe I was expecting to watch someone who can dance to play the legendary ballerina, unfortunately, the actress wasn't a dancer.



Margot played by English actress Anne-Marie Duff. (Sideline a bit here- Duff is married to the actor James McAvoy!! The cute actor in the movie 'Atonement' & 'Narnia'.)


Margot Fonteyn cause worldwide surge of excitement when she paired with Russian ballet legend Rudolph Nureyev (Played by Michiel Huisman).


Despite their age difference of 19 years, they created one of the most enduring and celebrated ballet partnership of all time!

Overall, it is a good drama, for a ballet researcher/lover/maniac like me, however, do not expect to watch a lot of technical ballet dance move and Duff doesn't particularly look like Fonteyn.

Haute Couture

I especially love to see the beautiful costumes that
seems to twinkle while fluttering across the stage.

These days, ballet-inspired style can be seen in fashion magazines;
ballet-inspired dresses, hairdos and accessories could be worn by anyone.

Picture above, you can see the making of the Chanel haute couture ballet costume.


English National Ballet had commission Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld to create an exclusive ballet costume for Principal Dancer Elena Glurdjidze, worn during her 'The Dying Swan' solo, summer 2009.


Elena Glurdjidze gave Lagerfeld a personal performance of the Dying Swan after her fitting at his salon in Paris.




Here we can see a picture of ballet legend Margot Fonteyn, wearing a long tutu and a sweater, old Hollywood style glamour and grace, yet simple and elegant, during a rehearsal.
