golden.....i shall never stop watching this...

...but perhaps not enough of the same as everyone else who's ever done this role. Maybe in the end that is the problem people have with her performance of this ballet. Where we expect flutters or "acting" we don't get what we're used to. But looking at the ballet with a fresh eye, we not only see it performed with remarkable technique but with a unique point of view, which is sorely needed in ballet. JMO

@nicolezly Strange, I was actually thinking along the same lines. But earlier in this thread a lot of people accused her of not acting at all. Some say her movement is too "stylized" others say she not stylized enough, not enough of a swan.
I'd say that she is just extremely fluid, very "otherworldly" very ethereal, very regal but at the same time vulnerable, but not fluttering about with movement screaming "look I'm a bird, watch me flutter" she simply is, which a very thoughtful approach...

i love sylvie guillem but i think marianela nunez is the better odette/odile. guillem looks as tho its slightly beneath her this role

you make me giggle :]

@pointemeout pftt ..i think we all know Nina Sayers was the best swan queen evar.

I don't want to criticize her dancing (how could I !! ) here, but for me her acting is a little over-done as odette. as if she is the one who was dominating the whole situation instead of vulnerably waiting for help. but beautiful pdd, no doubt.

How can people criticize her? Oh my god! Sylvie Guillem is a beautiful dancer!!! If she wasn't then she wouldn't have been a prima ballerina. And if you have extension why not flaunt it right? Its not like she has no emotion, she is full of it!...
