Ukrainian-born "bad boy of ballet" Sergei Polunin became the Royal Ballet's youngest ever principal dancer at age 19. But two years later - at the height of his success - he walked away from it all, resolving to give up dance entirely. Steven Cantor's Dancer tracks the life of this iconoclastic virtuoso, from his prodigal beginnings in the Ukraine to his awe-inspiring performances in the U.K., Russia, and eventually the U.S., where he went viral after David LaChapelle filmed him dancing to Hozier's "Take Me to Church." Yet beyond celebrating the raw talent and wild ambition of Polunin, whose sights are now set on Hollywood, Dancer considers how wealth and success may not be enough when it comes to finding personal and professional identity.
Captivating documentary. If you're into dancing especially ballet or contemporary, then you must watch this. Polunin's footages on his ballet journey are astounding. His talent is really heavenly.
However, he is such a bad boy. I don't like his eccentric behavior. But if you watch this film you would know why he became such a dick!
The family parts are heartwrenching. I shed a tear.
I'm still perplexed about this being categorized as a gay film. He's not gay. Is he gay? It wasn't shown in the film at all.
BUT THOSE HUGE PENIS BULGES ARE SUCH AN APPETIZING VIEW. Maybe those are the reason why this is a gay film
