This film by Paul Cox was probably shown in theatres, but I completely missed it if it was. It is now on DVD and I thought it was beautifully done. Derek Jacoby reads from the Diaries, while beautiful images of those wonderful familiar photographs of Nijinsky are shown. There are also excerpts from his ballets. I loved in particular the opening scene of a funeral cortege in a forest with a group of black-clad mourners following the casket (presumably carrying Nijinsky) and all the ballet characters he created are watching f rom the sidelines. The excerpts from his ballets are performed admirably by Australian dancers.

This documentary is now available online in its entirety. Here is the link.

I have only looked at the beginning, and though I believe that Cox's impulse was good and his sources and resources are excellent, it's a little too "self conscious" for my taste. However, I will look at the rest, and hope that all those who do see it will comment here.
