Louise Lecavalier: Kriegerin des Tanzes

Pathbreaking and playful, Louise Lecavalier revolutionized the art of dance in the 1980s working with Montreal's Édouard Lock and the La La La Human Steps troupe, followed by a stint with David Bowie, and is now a world-renowned choreographer. This spellbinding documentary gives Lecavalier’s true method of communication - movement - valuable screen time, and her frenzied, athletic performances amaze and enchant. Archival footage and pithy interviews fill in the picture of a 58-year-old mother of two teenagers still asking questions, pushing limits, and leaving audiences in awe.
