Mao’s Last Dancer
Australia 2009 | 117 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

From internationally acclaimed Australian film director Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) comes the inspirational true story of a young boy’s extraordinary journey from poverty to international stardom. Beginning with a grueling apprenticeship as a classical dancer in communist China and culminating in the glory of creative freedom in America, his path is marked by both triumph and sacrifice. Mao’s Last Dancer captures the intoxicating effects of first love and fame, the pain of exile, and the ultimate victory of personal determination over ideology. Filmed in China, the U.S., and Australia, and featuring a brilliant performance by Chi Cao as Li Cunxin, Mao’s Last Dancer is an exhilarating exploration of what it truly means to be free.
