Swan Lake (2018 TV Movie) was directed by Ross MacGibbon. This performance was given at Covent Garden in London with dancers of the Royal Ballet and musicians of the Royal Opera House.
Vadim Muntagirov gave a fine performance as Prince Siegfried. However, Swan Lake belongs to the swans, played by Principal Dancer Marianela Nuñez.
Nuñez is one of the greatest dancers of her generation. (We've seen her dance at Covent Garden, and she's superb.) All we can do-in the theater or watching the film--is wonder how any human being can do what she does and do it so perfectly.
If you love ballet, this is the film to see. If you don't love ballet, this is the film to see. Swan Lake has a very high IMDb rating of 7.9. Not high enough--I rated it 10.
