Giselle
(2013)
Giselle is a new feature film in collaboration with the Royal New Zealand Ballet and acclaimed director Toa Fraser. First performed in Paris in 1841, and based on a poem by Heinrich Heine, Giselle tells the age-old story of two star-crossed lovers; Giselle, a delicate village beauty who loves to dance and a prince, disguised as a commoner, is entranced and woos her away from her devoted suitor. They fall in love, but before he has the chance to disentangle himself from an inconvenient betrothal, his lie is revealed.
