Nice but not the Best
It's nice to have streaming ballet productions and this one is entertaining. But having watched the 70's version with Mikhail Baryshnikov this version didn't fully deliver. Some of the gestures and choreography is so over emphasized that it seems cheesy and humorous. After renting this version I most likely will not buy it.
Lackluster performance
I love the ballet Giselle, but I found this to be a bit disappointing. Performances were lackluster and lacked fire. I've seen many different versions and this one felt a bit off to me. However, finding Giselle on NexFlix, Apple or Amazon is next to impossible (this is the only streaming one I've found), and it did satisfy a craving. The second act was better than the first act. IMO, the second act of Giselle is one of the most sublime works of art and while this did not rise to be level of a great performance, it was still moving and competent.
