The movie "The Company" is about the dancers of a ballet company, who are constantly struggling to stay on their feet. Literally. The main character lives in a small apartment and works an additional job at a club in order to pay rent. In the company she struggles to hold lead roles, but is a beautiful dancer and important part of the company. Another, male dancer, has no money to rent, so he sleeps on the floor of another dancers home along with many other dancers in the company who also cannot buy their own apartment. Another male dancer is furious when he is replaced in one part of a ballet, and quits on the spot with his angry father. Along with everyday life struggles, the movie illustrates unconventional choreography and bright costumes that go well with the music chosen for the dance pieces.
Other than the dancing in this movie, I didn't particularly enjoy it. None of the characters reached a resolution in the end, and there was no exciting climax. I do think the movie showed really well the life of a dancer and what it takes to make it. Dancers are not payed well and this movie made it very flagrant.
