Cox had the idea of making a film about Nijinsky for over 30 years ever since he heard Paul Scofield read extracts from Nijinksky's diaries on the radio. He used voiceover readings by Derek Jacobi combined with images related to the dancer's life. Several dancers from Leigh Warren & Dancers portrayed Nijinsky in different roles.[2]
Reception
gollark: (I mean, it's ridiculously unlikely, but you know)
gollark: If I get one I'll call it "I Still Want Market Prizes".
gollark: I do not understand why people expect insulting someone to get them stuff.
gollark: <@164862112701612032> Somewhat late but other people have those things. You could do a swap.
gollark: But what about CBs?
