Our take

The electrically-charged creative process of Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied goes under the microscope in this intimately kinetic documentary. Tracing the course of a world premiere from workshop to gala, it makes for a dynamic companion piece to Frederick Wiseman’s 2009 epic, La Danse.
