10/05/2022 Wildly bizarre, smart, sexy, artsy film noir. See more 07/31/2011 Well it's different that for sure. A psychological drama set within a small dance troupe it has the advantage of some top grade talent, Judith Anderson and Michael Chekhov for starters, for such a low budget enterprise. Some fine dancing. See more 01/08/2011 Truly bizarre and thoroughly enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
