The ten last movies I watched in 2009








I tried to locate a "To Live" still of Ge You in the role of Fugui. His is the principle character, after all. I was thwarted, I guess, by the tyranny of Li Gong's beauty.

Here it is! Exquisite, graceful, and sensuous sculpture and music inform this extraordinary ballet performance from the Michael Smuin Ballet.

Beautiful and sensual. Dancers: Marjorie Grundvig and Lee Bell. YouTube video by eogmi24.
