Summary
Unedited footage of an interview recorded by Landseer Films (Ross MacGibbon) for Rudolf Nureyev, variations on an enigma, a promotional video commissioned by Christie's in connection with two auctions of Rudolf Nureyev's collections, held in New York in January 1995 and in London in November 1995. Tessa Kennedy, an interior designer and friend of Nureyev, remembers their mutual interest in shopping for carpets and antiques ; their experiences aboard the yacht of Greek tycoon Stavros Niarchos ; their shared enjoyment of old films, which gave Nureyev ideas for his ballets, notably Cinderella. Although she observed Nureyev as a dancer, her discussion centers on the traits he displayed in private life, such as his unquenchable thirst for knowledge, excellent memory, disdain for saving for the future, taste for opulence, fear of flying, and sense of humor.
