“Engrossing”
“Unlike many dance documentaries, ‘Paul Taylor: Creative Domain’ doesn’t fetishize every aspect of the dancer’s day. It zeroes in on a mystery.
The mystery is how Taylor, one of the greatest modern-dance choreographers, uses a simple formula of people plus time to make a work of art that pulls you in like an undertow.”
The New Yorker Review /
“…Taylor’s candor, his willingness to voice his misgivings, is one of his lineaments. As he said, none of this is comfortable: the dance, the job, the life.”
New York Times Critic’s Pick /
“Through it all, Mr. Taylor’s creative mysteries remain intact; a master of the casual and the vernacular (a good way to learn about movement, he says, is to watch football halftime shows), he nonetheless approaches the mystical.”
Village Voice Critic's Pick /
“A dance is not only motion, but emotion. This fascinating film reminds us how closely the two are linked.”
