Meet the renowned Benjamin Millepied—ballet master and choreographer of the dance sequences in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan—in this stunningly gorgeous and delicate film. Following Millepied as he attempts to rejuvenate the Paris Opera Ballet in his new position as director, Reset swoons and intoxicates as it follows the seasoned dancers rise and fall, stretch and recline. With appearances by composer Nico Muhly, Opera alumna Aurélie Dupont and designer Iris van Herpen, this dance film is a rapturous portrayal of how the nitty-gritty and sweat-stained work of ballet can create something near heavenly. So sit back, relax, and be delighted and mesmerized by Reset’s hypnotic dance.
