Plot
The life of the dancer Isadora Duncan, her revolutionary art, lovers and tragic death in 1927.
Sinekatalog’s take
Karel Reisz's biopic follows dancer Isadora Duncan's art, loves and death. Vanessa Redgrave is magnificent in a sprawling, richly coloured portrait that feels long but captures the free spirit of a revolutionary artist.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
