Dancing Through Darkness

The touching documentary "Nureyev: Dancing Through Darkness" (2004) documents the final years in the life of the celebrated dancer Rudolf Nureyev. Using archival footage and interviews, the film chronicles his continued attempts to dance at the highest caliber even though his body was deteriorating from advanced HIV. Above all, it shows one man's struggle to transcend the confines of morality, a man who literally tied to cheat death by doing what he loved the most.
