Director Ralph Fiennes captures the raw physicality and brilliance of Rudolf Nureyev, whose escape to the West at the height of the Cold War, stunned the world .
With his magnetic presence, Nureyev emerged as ballet's most famous star, a wild and beautiful dancer limited by the world of 1950s Leningrad.
His flirtation with Western artists and ideas led him into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with the KGB.
