The Nutcracker 3d (movie 2010)
Jules sure picked a winner this time... This is a tale of the rise of fascism and the blitz with a veneer of music and holiday magic.
The director felt that film can’t capture ballet so he avoided dancing, instead opting to shoehorn lyrics into the Tchaikovsky composition. I can’t imagine how they got Tim Rice to help with these clunky phrases.
The imagery is at times beautiful and often disturbing.
This is a mess of a movie, it is like 3 half-movies and the corpse of a ballet smashed into one, so that means it’s a bargain on Bluray from Amazon or iTunes streaming!
Honestly though try not to pay to see this, and probably don’t waste your time.
NEXT WEEK: We conclude on Christmas day with Dan’s pick Noel, a short animated TV special about an ornament that has a happiness.
