Great music and dancing, the rest is so-so
“White Nights” is one of those films that was a hit at the time of its release but after a few years it kind of became forgotten. The film has some great songs in it, including music by Phil Collins, and Lionel Richie’s academy award winning “Say You, See Me”. The dancing is also very fun to watch. The problem is that the story and plot are not as well devolped as they should be. The performaces are very good, especially Isabella Rosellini’s and Helen Mirren’s. The direction is also great, it was directed by Taylor Hackford who is done some very beautiful films such as “An Officer and A Gentleman” and “Doloris Claiborne”, his direction styles are very similar to Alan Parker’s(if anyone knows who he is or cares) who did “Midnight Express”, and “The Commitments”. Overall its not a bad film, take a look if you like the actors in the film or dance. 6.8 out of 10
If you like dancing…here are 2 of the best
The story is only fair, the acting not quite as good as the story, but the dancing….can’t be beat. Try to decide who is the best dancer… Hines with Ballet or Baryshnikov with tap… or both doing a combination of both styles. These guys can dance
