Contemporary dance and silent movie stylings clash in Asif Kapadia’s Creature.
BFI
Asif Kapadia is the awardwinning director of such acclaimed documentaries as Senna, Amy and Diego Maradona. Akram Khan is a celebrated choreographer who memorably performed with 50 of his dancers at the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony. Put them together and what have you got? Creature is what: a recording of Khan’s recent collaboration with English National Ballet that Kapadia is happy to describe as “my Covid lockdown film”.
