User Reviews

A dance performance

Erik Satie, played by Nicholas Pennell, is sitting at his table, thinking of the only love affair of his life while Victoria Tennent and her dancing team does a great dance performance to Satie's piano works, interpreted by Reinbert de Leeuw.

This is a film for those interested in modern dance and the music of Erik Satie. It's not a documentary with real dialogs.
