Vaslav Nijinsky in 'L'apres-midi d'un faune' (1912)
Unbelievably, I noticed footage today of Nijinsky in 'l'apres-midi d'un faune'.
26 seconds worth, discovered in 2006 in the archive of Louis MAISTRE (1862-1948) and now uploaded onto YouTube by his descendant Christian Comte, with the accompanying information:
'nijinsky original movie of nijinsky dance 1912 film inédit de Nijinsky sur fragment de pellicule découvert en 2006 dans les archives de Louis Maistre http://www.christiancomte.fr'
The legendary dancer's movement seems strangely and evenly fluid, and so slightly unnatural.
And there are a couple of seeming 're-takes', like rap music where the record is being wound back and forward.
