Ballet is a highly artificial art here are people, wearing tights and tu-tus, dancing the story of something like a princess in an enchanted forest), and it needs the artificial atmosphere and remove of the proscenium stage for the audience to be able to suspend its disbelief. In this film, the ballet segments have been made in a studio eliminating the authentic sense of baliet as it is performed in front of a live audience), and the camera is placed so close to the dancers that any illusion of reality is lost.
