Suzanne Farrell: Elusive Muse

US (1996): Documentary

She came to the New York City Ballet as a teenager from Ohio and captured the heart and soul of the great Mr. B (George Balanchine), inspiring the seminal ballets of her era and setting off a fevered and bizarre star-crossed love triangle. As the greatest ballerina of her time looks back on her amazing career, she creates an intimate portrait of her own on-stage triumphs, notwithstanding her life's back-stage turmoil. (Hollywood.com)
