The frustrating result is a hopelessly insular work.<\/p>\n<p>Directed by\u00a0Nancy Buirski, &#8220;Afternoon of a Faun&#8221; centers around Tanaquil le Clercq, or &#8220;Tanny,&#8221; the only daughter of a French intellectual and his somewhat overbearing American wife. At 12 years of age, she won a scholarship to the American School of Ballet, and her elongated, racehorse-like physique made her a muse of two of the greatest choreographers in dance &#8212; Jerome Robbins and George Balanchine, the latter of whom she would eventually marry, despite him being a quarter-century her senior. As a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, however, le Clercq was stricken with polio in 1956, never to fully recover.<\/p>\n<p>Buirski, co-founder of the Full Frame Film Festival, makes use of an array of wonderful performance footage, blending this material with interviews from a variety of figures close to Le Clercq&#8217;s story, including Barbara Horgan, who was Balanchine&#8217;s former assistant, and dancing colleagues like Jacques D&#8217;Amboise and Arthur Mitchell. But the movie&#8217;s emotionally impenetrable opening half-hour does it no favors, creating such a downward drag that it never recovers.<\/p>\n<p>Via voiceover, Buirski also sprinkles the film with passages from Le Clercq&#8217;s personal correspondence, but she doesn&#8217;t do a great job of always indicating whom these letters are to and from, and since there are extant interview clips with Le Clercq, it just further muddies the film&#8217;s vision. Most damningly, though, the filmmaker assumes a fawning interest in her subject, never tapping into the material&#8217;s potentially rich thematic\u00a0veins, of the fleeting nature of beauty and youth. The basic tragedy and, indeed, dark irony of Le Clercq&#8217;s story should be enough to lift &#8220;Afternoon of a Faun&#8221; up, and give it a universal charge. Alas, those who aren&#8217;t dance history majors are left on the outside of this at times beautiful but otherwise entirely tedious bauble, with their faces pressed against the glass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> In addition to its other theatrical engagements, &#8220;Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil le Clercq&#8221; opens in Los Angeles at Laemmle Playhouse 7, Laemmle
