  1. BB!! Good grief, you forgot the best dance documentary of all, Bertrand Normand's "Ballerina"!

    Hope you're keeping well, BTW!

  2. Hi Jan,

    Sorry your favourite documentary didn't make the short list; but I will be doing a post later in the month about some of the contenders that didn't quite make it, including the recent ENB documentary 'The Agony and the Ecstasy'.

  3. Awww... My bad, I recalled (later) that I watched it in French, I don't even know if it is available in English - So strictly speaking you are within you right to ignore it!

    VERY well worth watching, though!
