Niets in haar onglamoureuze afkomst als Amerikaanse boerendochter lijkt Loïe Fuller voorbestemd te maken tot pionier van de moderne dans. En toch ontketent Loïe in Parijs met haar adembenemende serpentine dance een ware revolutie. Ze wordt het symbool van een generatie, een sensatie die de Lichtstad voorstelling na voorstelling in lichterlaaie zet. Kunstenaars en aristocraten aanbidden haar. Fuller schuwt geen enkel risico om haar kunst tot het uiterste te drijven, ondanks de zware tol die dat perfectionisme eist van haar lichaam en gezondheid. Uiteindelijk dreigt de haat-liefdeverhouding met haar ambitieuze protégée Isadora Duncan de ondergang in te zetten van dit icoon van de vroege 20ste eeuw. (Lumière Publishing)

It reminded me a bit of Egon Schiele, which I saw recently. It's biographical, and it's good, but it feels more like a classic biographical drama that lacks something extra to really elevate it. Sure, you learn about the life of a person you probably don't even know, and yes, they had an interesting and dramatic fate, but that's just what you'd expect.

It is the story of a dancer whose at the time innovative performance hid hours of hard work, blood, sweat and tears. Unlike her frenemy, she was neither beautiful nor graceful, but there were queues for her performances in France. The story itself is nothing extraordinary, but it deserves an extra star thanks to the beautiful cinematography and the dance scenes, which give me goosebumps all over again when I think of them. I haven’t seen something so beautiful on the screen for a long time. The moment she first started dancing I didn't even breathe and wished she would dance for the rest of the film. My only complain about the dance scenes is that they were too short. As the first feature film by director Stéphanie Di Giusto, very nice work (especially visually).
