MAO’S LAST DANCER

Bruce Beresford, Australia, 2009, 117 min.

A feature film by the director of Breaker Morant and the multiple Oscar-winning Driving Miss Daisy, this drama is based on the autobiography by the dancer turned stockbroker Li Cunxin who was plucked from a poor Chinese village by Madame Mao's cultural delegates and taken to Beijing to study ballet. In 1979, during a cultural exchange to Texas, he defected. Forbidden to return to China, he is invited by Ben Stevenson to perform as a principal dancer for the Houston Ballet. With Chi Cao, Bruce Greenwood, Kyle MacLachlan.
