The brains behind the bloody revolution that threatens to bring the government and entire country down, Ezequiel is as elusive as Rejas’ superiors are corrupt - an irony not lost on Rejas, who left a career as a lawyer to try to find “a more honourable way of practicing the law.” The military’s response to the brutal tactics of Ezequiel’s followers is equally ferocious, creating an atmosphere of mass panic. In the midst of the chaos, Rejas finds respite in Yolanda (Laura Morante), his daughter’s soulfully beautiful ballet teacher. As Rejas draws nearer to the man who considers himself to be the ‘Fourth Flame of Communism,’ he and the dancer he loves will be forced to choose between love, country and self. Based on Nicholas Shakespeare's adaptation of his novel of the same name, THE DANCE UPSTAIRS marks John Malkovich's feature film directorial debut. On DVD, THE DANCER UPSTAIRS contains a commentary from John Malkovich and Javier Bardem and two fascinating featurettes – ‘Journeys with John Malkovich’ and a behind the scenes documentary ‘Revealing The Dancer Upstairs’.
