leonid17 Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gA2eXdWTf8 Thank you for posting. I have compared photographs taken of Nijinsky in 1945 after watching the film full screen a number of times. It is interesting, but I would like to see confirmation of the event written or published at the time. What also concerns me is that Romola Nijinska is not in the shot. Life magazine covered the Vienna story and the photographs they used are replicated at the beginning of the film. The written commentary the magazine gave needs to be taken with a sack of salt. Before and after the supposed date of this film, Nijinsky is always described as having a shuffling gait.
