What Nijinsky Is About
Vaslav Nijinsky is both the dancer and the lover of Sergei Diaghilev, who runs the Ballets Russes. As a young woman who joins the company draws his attention, Diaghilev’s hold on him starts to give and Nijinsky is pulled from two directions at once. Herbert Ross adapted the book Romola Nijinsky wrote about her husband, with a screenplay by Hugh Wheeler. Alan Bates plays Diaghilev and George de la Peña Nijinsky. The film moves towards the dancer’s mental collapse and treats it as the breaking of a person rather than as the legend of an artist. Paramount released it in 1980.
