    a delicate film starring the massive paris opera and its populace with a screen full of ballerinas, pathos and slavenska. i learned about as much about the paris ballet as i did from tavernier's "tout près des étoiles" (2001), but loved it even more.

    an archival print from warner bros. showed at the san francisco international film festival in 2000, so there's a subtitled print out there. find it. show it.
