Ralph Fiennes and Oleg Iveko / The White Crow

We sit down with Ralph Fiennes, who acts, directs and produces this new film about legendary Russian ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev and star of the film, ballet dancer-turned-actor Oleg Ivenko to discuss the artists’ vocation, how Nureyev’s defection was personal rather than political and why Fiennes had to fight to cast the dancer he wanted.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
