Maurice Bejart, one of the leading names in contemporary dance, is the subject of this wonderful film directed by Marcel Schupbach. The film features images of Bolero, as well as a new show, called simply LUMIERE (LIGHT). We follow the 75-year-young Bejart from rehearsals through opening night. The film powerfully reveals both Bejart the man and his work. It is a moving and frank portrait.
