VHS Movie Reviews of Isadora Duncan: Movement From the Soul [VHS]

Movie Review: Wonderful bio of Isadora Duncan
Summary: 5 Stars

Examples of some of Isadora's best-known choreographies are performed by Lori Bellilove and Madeleine Lytton with a background chorus from the Oakland ballet. Lori in particular brings Isadora's choreography alive and makes you think that you have caught a glimpse of the legendary dancer and an idea of why she so fascinated audiences. Wonderful video... the dance excerpts alone are worth the purchase price. Highly recommended!

Summary of Isadora Duncan: Movement From the Soul [VHS]

The first American performing artist to gain international acclaim, she dared to use her choreography to call people to arms, to express the plight of repressed workers and agitate for the freedom of women. The film chronicles the creation of Duncan's dance schools in Berlin, Paris and Moscow; her uninhibited love affairs; the birth and tragic death of her two illegitimate children; and her own famous demise when her scarf met the well of an Italian sports car. ISADORA DUNCAN uses not only Duncan's dances but also her own words to tell her story. The narration, read by stage and film star Julie Harris, is culled from Duncan's speeches, essays and autobiography, prividing a colorful and unsentimental framework for the film.
