And then we danced clip. And then we danced full movie free. I saw this film in Paris, where it was widely acclaimed. I came out of the cinema with a sense of this is always going to happen; the persecution and the destruction of gay people's lives. I was not uplifted by it and although persecution against gays is acute in Russia and the former USSR I feel that this persecution is like an advanced cancer spreading through the whole body politic of these countries. But the film deserves all the accolades that it can get, despite the feeling that I do not find it a particularly interesting film. The acting of the two main protagonists was good, but no better than many other LGBTQ films I have seen. It is bad to compare, but I would urge viewers to watch the Russian film ' Stand ' which is tougher, richer in cinematic terms and deserved much more attention in the West than it got. But I will buy the DVD when it eventually surfaces and study its nuances further. There is an element in the scenario which I will not give away that reminded me of ' Call Me By Your Name ' and the pain was just as acute and far more terrible to watch due to the fact that Georgia can kill if you do not conform, and the West does not. Also the sexual love was far more explicit and frantically expressed in ' And Then We Danced ' than in the other film. It also looked authentic and bravo to the actors for achieving that. It put the sexuality into homosexuality and for that alone, against all reservations I admire and respect it. It is precisely the sexuality that makes killers of so-called normal society and the hatred of so-called ' normal ' men.
