  Ballet Done Right I am not a fan of the ballet. Let me amend that : I am not a fan of sitting in an audience and watching -- in two dimensions -- the stage as a ballet troupe athletically presents their program.
urlLink Robert Altamn's latest flic , with, of all people, quirkey Canadian Neve ("First off, don't call me Ne-Vee ") Campbell gets it right. The film adds a third, and of course, fourth dimension to the ballet scenes with the help of urlLink DP Andrew Dunn , a God of the perfect shot. Dunn gets camera shots from up in the stage lights, the wings, from behind the stage and he catches the gossamer costumes as well as the elaborate and draining movements.
Altman gets the "social macrocosm" and Neve Campbell is terrific, but the real star here is the camera, and the man behind it: DP Andrew Dunn
