I had the opportunity to see the film in Belgrade at FEST - International Film Festival.
First, it's interesting that Serbian Film Institute gave 5 million euros for the film, but isn't listed as production country! Second, the film is to long and boring till the end, but also the ending isn't exiting.
Rudolf Nureyev was an interesting person but this film made him boring and uninteresting. I could not understand why the director decided to minimize his queerness, especially that his sexual identity was one of the reasons why he wanted to leave Soviet Union. Rudolf had huge sexual appetite and in this film he is asexual!
In the end the director decided not to include the information that Rudolf Nureyev died of complications of AIDS and I find it disrespectful.
