		In 1911, Nijinsky joined Diaghilev's Ballets Russes on a permanent basis, having been dismissed from the Imperial Ballet after appearing as Albrecht in Giselle in the costume he had worn in Paris, which he had been specifically instructed not to wear as it was considered skimpy and unsuitable for Russian audiences.
		Nijinsky was the first to portray the leading roles in Les sylphides (1909) and Schéhérazade (1910) and Diaghilev commissioned Petrushka and Le Spectre de la Rose for him with choreography by Fokine.
		Nijinsky wrote about his inner conflicts and obsessions in four notebooks, which were published in heavily edited versions during the years after he dropped out of public life.

		The film gets to the heart of Nijinsky as the consumate artist and for that I call for shouts of bravo for a filmmaker who is not willing to compromise his film for a pile of Hollywood money and aims only to tell the story as it's meant to be told in a personal way.
		Cox is more interested in showing only what Nijinsky clearly expressed and felt and is buoyed by the fact that his subject has the courage to speak his mind from his heart and not hold back his true feelings in the wake of the tragic circumstances surrounding his life.
		Nijinsky in his diaries has taken exception with critics who don't take their audience into account and only react from their limited personal beliefs when they ignorantly slash away at things they don't grasp.

		An entry in his journals by Nijinsky stated that he did not wish his diary to be published as text, but rather photographed, for he believed that handwriting was another dimension of personality.
		Vaslav Nijinsky did the reverse, spending the last thirty years of his life in his own universe, physically confined in a European asylum.
		Iíve never met anyone interested in dance who could deny that Nijinsky is its God - my huge incentive to sit through this man's madness and feel touched by his intense passion, singularity and loneliness...and a little like I was taking a ferry ride after too much to drink...all those sparkling lights.

		The legend of Nijinsky relies not only in the fact that he was a virtuoso ‘dancer noble’ but also on the fact that the Ballet Russes fused a number of Art forms together…to produce a phenomenon.
		Nijinsky was probably the first male icon of the ballet.
		This it could be argued was part of his drawing power as a star and could be seen as a separate issue though clearly linked to his artistic achievements in terms of him 'speaking' to or from in part at least a culturally suppressed gay perspective.

	CNN - Salon review: 'The Diary Of Vaslav Nijinsky -- The Unexpurgated Edition' - February 25, 1999
		The diary itself comprises the contents of four notebooks Nijinsky kept between Jan. 19 and March 4, 1919, when he had already danced his last performance and was living with his wife, daughter, mother-in-law and assorted hangers-on in a rented villa in St. Moritz, Switzerland, just before his first incarceration for schizophrenia.
		And Nijinsky's case is doubly problematic, since his total output was small, and only one of the dances that he choreographed for himself, "L'Apres-midi d'un faune," still survives in performance.
		Acocella thinks it entirely possible that in writing the diary Nijinsky hoped to create a work of literature, but she offers it, wisely, for what it is: a footnote to genius, the last, sad record of a legend.

	Voice Of Dance - Insights - Features
		The dancer-choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky was born in Kiev of Polish stock in either 1888 or 1889; he danced his last performance in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in 1919 and died in London in 1950 after three decades of lengthy and agonizing sojourns in a series of mental hospitals.
		What most intrigues film and ballet directors about Nijinsky is neither his choreography nor his dancing, but the diaries he kept through much of his career and through his institutionalization.
		What, in brief, Cox's Nijinsky misses is any feeling for the artist who remade the rules of classicism in choreography and recast ballet in the male image, a process that has continued through the deification of Rudolf Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov in our own time.

	The Diaries Of Vaslav Nijinsky: the culmination of a career
		This is not the traditional television-style documentary that audiences have become used to: the film does not use a narrator, nor does it include the usual interviews with family, friends, colleagues and critics, intercut with shots of the dancer at work, at home, or walking down the street or along some deserted beach.
		In 1917 Nijinsky, together with his wife and daughter, retreated to St Moritz in an attempt to escape his overbearing mentor Diaghilev and to await the end of the war.
		Nijinsky has been hailed as one of the greatest dancers of all time yet his career was relatively short – he danced on the stage for only ten years.
