4.0 out of 5 stars Dance Magic, 13 Sep 2003
By K. Shipster "katyash" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a big fan of dance films, and 'White Nights' is one of the best around. Helen Mirren turns in an excellent performance as the faded and damaged ex-primo Russian ballerina, ultimately jealous of Barishnikov's freedom. Gregory Hines is superlative as the dissolutioned American tap-dancer. Isabella Rossolini is charming as his Russian wife. The moments of pure brilliance are of course the dance scenes, set off beautifully against the sinister KGB dominated backdrop of Moscow, as Hines and Barishnokov fuse their two distinct styles to produce some truly fantastic sequences. The film is supported by a decent soundtrack with the likes of Lionel Richie's haunting 'Say you, say me'. It is certainly well worth a watch, even if you are not a dance fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars White Nights, 19 Feb 2005
By A Customer
I think this could be one of my all time fav. films and i really enjoyed it. Helen Mirren gives a great performance and Mikhail Baryshnikov was excellent. The dance scenes are fantastic and are a great display of the skill of both G.Hines and M.Baryshnikov. All in all i think that it is well worth viewing! =) Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't help it..., 11 Oct 2007
... I just LOVE this film. Its an eighties masterpiece. I remember watching it as a child and instantly falling in love with Mikhail Baryshnikov. I haven't seen it for nearly 25 years and I've just watched it again, it is just BRILLIANT. I felt all the same things I did when I was young but this time I understood all the difficulties involved with the lead character's defection to the West. The dancing is thrilling and the soundtrack, although distinctly eighties, suits the time and style of the film beautifully. Great film.
