Center Stage [DVD] [2000]

The hopes and dreams of a supremely gifted group of young ballet students will ride on the evaluations of the American Ballet Company. What emerges is the euphoria and disappointment of taking quot;Center Stage.quot; Languages: French / SUB: English, French (2000) Running Time: 116 Minutes.

The ballet school drama Center Stage comes to DVD with a surprising amount of features, including a widescreen, anamorphic transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Surround Audio, and a commentary by director Nicholas Hytner. A "making of" featurette and extended dance sequences emphasize the film's attention to choreography and ballet fundamentals, while the isolated music score and deleted scenes provide more insight into the creative processes behind Center Stage. Theatrical trailers, production notes, cast and crew biographies, and the video for Mandy Moore's "I Wanna Be With You" complete this fairly substantial and entertaining disc.
