ON THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF AN HOMMAGE

Portrait

Ion Tugearu was one of the brightest stars of Romanian ballet under communism and remains in demand as a teacher and choreographer. As plans for a film portrait of the dancer take shape, Tugearu reacts with great enthusiasm – and doesn't hesitate to provide his own unsolicited input from the start, with a continuous stream of novel ideas. A humorous encounter between artistic vanity and the limits of filmmaking.
