‘John Cranko’ Director on His Biopic of the Famed Choreographer, Starring Sam Riley, as Trailer Debuts Ahead of Market Premiere at AFM (EXCLUSIVE)
Ahead of the market premiere at the AFM of 'John Cranko,' starring Sam Riley, director Joachim A. Lang speaks about the choreographer's life and art.
A South African by birth, he had previously worked in London, but his tenure at the Sadler’s Wells Ballet had been jeopardized after he was prosecuted for committing a “homosexual act” in a public place, which at that time was outlawed in the U.K. Riley, known for “Control,” “Rebecca” and “Maleficent,” plays alongside Hanns Zischler (“The Theory of Everything”), Max Schimmelpfennig (“Stella – A Life”) and Lucas Gregorowicz (“Pagan Peak”). The film also features performances by dancers from the present day Stuttgart Ballet company, including Elisa Badenes, Friedemann Vogel, Rocio Aleman, Jason Reilly and Henrik Erikson.
