The Company

THE COMPANY is "a completely new kind of film" raves Anna Kisselgoff of 'The New York Times', a fascinating look at the world of dance, with the cooperation of the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago. Legendary director and Oscar? nominee Robert Altman (2001 Best Director, Best Picture, 'Gosford Park'; 1975 Best Director, Best Picture, 'Nashville'), takes us into the world of the dancers whose professional and personal lives clash as they cope with the demands of a life in the ballet. Neve Campbell ('Scream', TV's 'Party of Five') plays a gifted but conflicted company member on the verge of becoming a principal dancer at a fictional Chicago troupe. Golden Globe winner James Franco ('Spider-Man', TV's 'James Dean') co-stars as Campbell's boyfriend, a master chef who provides romance and refuge from the watchful eye of the pompous artistic director played by Malcolm McDowell ('A Clockwork Orange').
