Ralph Fiennes captures the raw physicality and brilliance of Rudolf Nureyev, whose escape to the West stunned the world at the height of the Cold War. Nureyev is played by world-class ballet performer Oleg Ivenko.<br /> With his magnetic presence, Rudolf 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 at the height of the Cold War.<br /> With a drum-tight script by David Hare, 'White Crow' offers a thrilling insight into Nureyev's dangerous defection, masterminded by the dancer’s great friend, 21 year-old Parisian Clara Saint. With an astonishing finale at Le Bourget airport in Paris, Nureyev leaps to freedom, and in so doing defines his destiny.

A woman's past is held inside her, locked away - a painful secret. A past life, a past love is kept hidden. This is the dilemma of Nelly Ternan, the heroine of The Invisible Woman. Nelly, a happily married mother and school teacher, is haunted by her past. Her memories, provoked by remorse and guilt, take us back in time to follow the story of her relationship with Charles Dickens, with whom she discovered an exciting but fragile complicity. Dickens - famous, controlling and emotionally isolated within his success -<br /> falls for Nelly, one of three sisters - all actresses. The theatre is a vital arena for Dickens - a brilliant amateur actor - a man more<br /> emotionally coherent in his work, or on stage, than in life. The nature of performance and the life of the theatre are an important part of this film, particularly in regards to the perception of women in theatre and the ambivalence of their position. Nelly, in some ways a muse for Dickens, becomes the focus of his passion. For both of them, secrecy is the price, and for Nelly a life of 'invisibility'.
