US PREMIERE OF RESTORED FILM

In his newly restored thrilling performance film, Enrique Pineda Barnet follows Cuba’s greatest ballet dancer, Alicia Alonso, halfway between documentary and fiction in her acclaimed portrayal of Giselle in the eponymous ballet that made Alonso an international star. The tale follows Duke Albrecht as he disguises himself as a peasant to win the love of the beautiful Giselle.

En la recien restaurada Película de Enrique Pineda Barnet sigue a la mejor bailarina de ballet de Cuba, Alicia Alonso, entre el documental y la ficción en su aclamado retrato de Giselle en el ballet homónimo que convirtió a Alonso en una estrella internacional.
