Cranko

For twelve years, the unique choreographer John Cranko shaped the Stuttgart Ballet, which he led to phenomenal world fame - and with him also became a celebrated star to this day. A moving biopic about this passionate, even obsessive artist and a truly captivating dance film in one. Absolutely brilliant in the leading role: Sam Riley!
