VHS Movie Reviews of My Sergei
Movie Review: Long time Idol
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutly love the story of G&G this is a one time movie that anyone would love to have. I have the VHS version which I love with all my heart. Anyone not wanting to buy this movie is a fool. You will fall in love with their story just like I did. ~Julianne Movie Review: Russian Love Story on Ice
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw G&G and their amazing synchronicity on ice was at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Gordeeva was only 16, Grinkov only 22, but their talent was tremendous. They hadn't paired up romantically yet but it was obvious they were a duo to be reckoned with. By the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway they had married and had a daughter and won Gold again. Sadly, just a year later Grinkov died suddenly and left a widow of 24 alone with a toddler. Their love story is heartwarming and probably one of the most enduring real life tales in figure skating history. This video is a testament to twin flames on ice and off. This is the kind of love story others only dream about.Movie Review: If you love a love story ...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a G&G fan and you haven't seen this, it is a must see. If you have never heard of Gordeeva & Grinkov - watch it and you will fall in love with them. Based on Katia Gordeeva's book about her life with her late husband (also a must-read) it features extensive footage of the couple and interviews with Katia and only a few hyper-cheesy "flash back" re-enactments. It is more a docu-drama than a movie. Now, almost 10 years after Sergei's death, with Katia remarried and expanding her family, it is still a beautiful movie to watch and enjoy. And if you have never experienced G&G you are missing the greatest pair ever to take the ice. This movie is a good way to "get to know" them.Movie Review: Such a lovely documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
Ten years. Ten years since skating lost one of its most beloved skaters, Sergei Grinkov.
This is such a lovely, beautiful, marvelously put-together documentary. It is a must see for all skating fans, and even non-skating fans can watch this movie and enjoy it, because everyone can identify with Katia's sadness when Sergei, her one true love and her husband passes away.
This movie made me cry. Katia and Sergei's story is just so touching.
Sergei, you are remembered and loved.
Movie Review: A Touching Film
Summary: 5 Stars
On 20 November 1995, figure skating lost one of its greatest athletes - ever - when Russian pairs skater Sergei Grinkov collapsed and died during a practice in Lake Placid, New York. Now, through re-enactments and footage of his career, Grinkov's memory is brought to life through this touching documentary, "My Sergei".At age 15 Grinkov was paired with fellow Russian skater, 11-year old Ekaterina Gordeeva. Though the two were different ages and heights (he was about 2 heads taller than she), they became the greatest pairs team in the history of the sport. In 1986, their first year in senior competition, they won the World Championships. Two years later, at ages 16 and 21, they became Olympic gold medalists in Calgary. The world was introduced to, and fell in love with, Gordeeva and Grinkov - G&G.
Two years later the duo turned pro, got married, and won the hearts of fans the world over. Through Stars on Ice, they reached American audiences with their graceful and emotional routines, always consummately performed with style. When they returned to Olympic competition in 1994, there was no doubt that they would win gold again -- and they did. Within two years, however, Sergei was dead, and skating would never be the same.
Told through the eyes of Grinkov's partner and widow, Katia Gordeeva, this documentary is a joyous and touching film, as it reveals the life and loss of one of skating's greatest athletes.
Summary of My Sergei
My Sergei is a romantic reverie delving deeply into the love and tragedy of Russian ice skaters Sergei Grinkov and Ekaterina Gordeeva. Paired in the early 1980s, Gordeeva and Grinkov matured into world and Olympic champions, and the working relationship blossomed into friendship, love, marriage, and parenthood. In November 1995, their fairy-tale life dissolved when Grinkov suffered sudden heart failure during a routine practice. Based on the bestselling book written by Gordeeva with E.M. Swift for Gordeeva and Grinkov's daughter Daria, this 90-minute film is extremely powerful. It is a rare and effective blend of narrated documentary, reenactment, extensive footage from the pair's skating career, and interviews with Gordeeva, family members, friends, and other famous ice skaters including Scott Hamilton, Viktor Petrenko, Kristi Yamaguchi, and Paul Wylie. --Tami HoriuchiGeneral Video
