Yuli

Slovenski opis filma:

Baletna zvezda. Talentiran plesalec, ki so mu baletni koraki, padci in podvigi na lesenih odrskih deskah odprli pot v svet. Izreden temnopolti član britanskega kraljevega baleta Carlosa Acoste. Glasbena drama je pripoved o najsvetlejši moški plesni zvezdi Kube, ki je z neverjetnim talentom navdušil občinstvo po vsem svetu in si pri tem prislužil nadvse ugledno primerjavo z legendo Rudolfom Nurejevom. Pripoved se začne v Havani, v času Carlosovega otroštva, ko se nemiren deček, poln energije, podi po barvitih ulicah karibske prestolnice in s prirojenim ritmom pleše breakdance. Oče Carlosa Acoste se je odločil, da bo njegov sin izreden plesalec. Seveda je Carlos temu sprva nasprotoval, a je bil oče prepričan o svojem prav in tudi zato je sinu v čast afroameriškemu bogu vojne in ognja nadel vzdevek Yuli. Vedel je namreč, da se bo sin lahko dokopal do uspeha samo, če se bo boril … Originalni naslov: Leto produkcije: 2018 Država: koprodukcija Žanr: biografska plesna drama Režija: Icíar Bollaín Scenarij: Paul Laverty po avtobiografiji Carlosa Acoste Igrajo: Carlos Acosta, Santiago Alfonso, Keyvin Martínez, Edilson Manuel Olbera Núñez

Originalni opis filma:

Yuli is the nickname given to Carlos Acosta by his father, Pedro, who considers him the son of Ogun, an African god and a fighter. As a child Yuli avoids discipline and education, learning from the streets of an impoverished and abandoned Havana. His father, however, has other ideas, and knowing that his son has a natural talent for dance, sends him to the National Ballet School of Cuba. Despite his repeated escapes and initial poor behavior, the boy is inevitably drawn to the world of dance, and begins to shape his legendary career from a young age, becoming the first black dancer to be cast in some of the most prestigious ballet roles, originally written for white dancers, in companies such as the Houston Ballet or the Royal Ballet in London.
