Robert Altman – The Company (2003)

From wiki: The Company is composed of stories gathered from the actual dancers, choreographers, and office staff of the Joffrey Ballet. Most of the roles are played by real-life company members. While there are small subplots involving a love story between Campbell’s character and a character played by James Franco, most of the movie focuses on the company as a whole, without any real star or linear plot. The many real-life stories woven together show the dedication and hard work that dancers must put in to their art, even though they are seldom rewarded with fame, fortune, or even a statue, painting, or album on which to look back.

The Company was an idea of Campbell’s for a long time – she began her career as a ballet dancer, having been a student at Canada’s National Ballet School. [2] Altman was reportedly reluctant to take on the directing of the movie initially[citation needed], but later relented. After filming was concluded, Campbell was offered a position to dance in the company, but turned it down due to injuries and a desire to keep acting.
