Gaga' Review . Charismatic and intense, craggily handsome and still athletically lithe in his mid- sixties, the artistic director of Tel Aviv’s famed Batsheva Dance Company would be perfect casting for a film about a driven dance auteur. Tomar Heymann’s documentary Mr. Gaga, currently receiving its U. S. He had a developmentally disabled younger brother who would only come out of his shell when their grandmother danced for him, and when she died, Naharin became determined to fill her role. It makes for a great story, even, as he later admits, it’s entirely made up.

Although he didn’t study dancing until the relatively advanced age of 2. U. S., where he became a member of the Martha Graham and Maurice Bejart companies. Dissatisfied with his dancing career, he began creating his own works, and in 1. Israel to accept an offer to head the prestigious Batsheva company.

He was joined by his wife, Mari, who gave up her role as a leading dancer in the Alvin Ailey company so he could pursue his dream. The film includes extensive footage of Naharin’s choreographic creations, their pictorial quality varying dramatically since they span many years. Also included are many scenes of Naharin working with his dancers in alternately tough and tender fashion, including, most memorably, the opening sequence in which he attempts to teach a female dancer how to fall to the ground forcefully but also gracefully. He’s clearly a stern taskmaster, with one of his dancers saying that he’s prone to yelling such things as “You’re boring me!” from the wings while they’re performing.

Among the dramatic episodes recounted are his wife Mari’s early death from cancer — Naharin, who has since remarried, comments, “To mourn a big loss, and to dance, they don’t contradict each other” — and the controversy that arose in his native country when he withdrew his company from a gala celebrating Israel’s 5. Mr. Gaga isn’t always as informative as it could be. Its title derives from the unique style of dance that Naharin popularized, but despite comments from both him and such personages as actress Natalie Portman, casual viewers will be left hard- pressed to exactly understand what it all means.
