The film is a sympathetic portrait of a free spirit, a determined and individual artist, who found freedom through her dancing. I have been interested in ballet for several years. This presentation gave me a new appreciation of the art she established and a glimpse at the driven, idealistic, determined woman she was. I would be more inclined to try her dancing style rather than just watch it. It is like going to a Barbershop quartet concert (which I love.) After the first half hour, everything seems to be the same. The film, however, didn't touch on whether her school also took boys. There seems to be quite a bit of interaction between her dancers, but I can't imagine her approach would indulge lifts or throws.
A rather ordinary and at times overwrought paen to one of the most original artist of the 20th century. The exquisite dancing by Lori and Margaret gave some idea of Isadora's genius and passion.
