Well it's a pretty fantastic movie, combining two of the greatest dancers of our time in a bunch of fantastic sequences. And that's the good part.
I think the anti-Soviet propaganda is pretty strong with this one, but really, what can you expect from an American director at the height of the Cold War? Still, some of the parts can be a bit much if you're from the generation after.
All in all, a good movie. Mikhail the disenchanted expatriate dancer who longs for his former glories, and Gregory Hines the tortured protagonist who simply longs for a better life.
