The Nijinsky Films: A Life and Requiem for a Dancer. 1975. Sweden. 55 min.

Requiem for a Dancer is a fictionalized look at Vaslav Nijinsky, the premier dancer of the Ballet Russes, in which the centerpiece is the dancer’s training warm-up. Montage and the sounds produced by the body during performance (by James de Bolt) contribute to the film’s tactile and aural qualities. A Life, a companion piece, is Feuer’s rare film interview with Romola de Pulszky, Vaslav’s wife and biographer. Courtesy NRK and The National Library of Norway
