Stuttgart, 1960. John Cranko lands, and for once it looks like the universe might let him breathe. In London, though, his homosexuality has been used as a reason to humiliate him and even hit him with a work ban. So Stuttgart becomes his reset button.

First he’s there as a guest choreographer. Then, shockingly fast, he takes over and turns the Stuttgarter Ballett into his personal playground. The audience loves him. He commits to the craft with a kind of obsessive focus that borders on self-sabotage. He has affairs, suffers private setbacks, spirals into deep crises, and runs his office from what sounds like the least “power-corporate” place imaginable. His dancers? “His children.”

This is a biopic about meteoric success that never stops charging interest. Joachim Lang doesn’t sell it as pure inspiration. It’s ambition, perfectionism, and the bill coming due.
----------
Stuttgart, 1960. John Cranko steigt aus dem Flugzeug, fühlt sich offenbar wie ein Mann mit Plan. Leider ist London gerade dabei, ihn wegen seiner Homosexualität ordentlich zu demütigen. In der schwäbischen Idylle scheint plötzlich niemand auf die Idee zu kommen, seinen Lebensstil zu kommentieren. Also übernimmt Cranko das Stuttgarter Ballett erst als Gast, dann als Ballettdirektor. Und plötzlich ist er nicht mehr nur Tänzer, sondern Publikums-Liebling, Arbeitssüchtiger und Umgangsweise-Philosoph, der sein Ensemble „seine Kinder“ nennt.

Das Biopic läuft wie ein Höhenflug mit Kopfschmerzen. Affären, Rückschläge, tiefe Krisen. Sogar das Büro liegt irgendwann in der Theater-Kantine. Cranko jagt Perfektion, und man merkt: Das ist romantisch gedacht, aber es frisst auch alles. Joachim Lang zeigt das ohne Zuckerwatte. Eher nah dran, eher unbequem, aber ziemlich elektrisierend.
