Lyubovyu za Lyubov

Alternative title

Love for Love

Synopsis

Russian version of Much Ado About Nothing incorporating ballet and dance. Courtney Lehmann (op cit) writes: ‘This film is a curious hybrid that includes classical ballet interludes, a narrator figure who is a famous Russian opera singer and low, vaguely ‘Romany’ cultural performances sprinkled into the Don John sub plot’. The Ballet of the Moscow Musical Academy Theatre is conducted by A. Kopytov.
