THE ICE KING is the searing documentary of a lost cultural icon, a story of art, sport, sexuality, and rebellion. Including incredible unseen footage of some of his mort remarkable performances and with access to Curry's letters, archive interviews, and interviews with his family, friends and collaborators, this is a portrait of the man who turned ice-skating from a dated sport into an exalted art form. Watch any figure skating and it falls into two possible camps: before and after John Curry. From what was a macho, technical sport whose judges punished deviation blossomed - through John Curry's stubborn beauty - ice-dancing. This was no Holiday on Ice, but a new artistic medium. After winning gold at the Winter Olympics for a rebelliously balletic routine, Curry saw the world's stages sheeted with ice. Audiences and reviewers alike were enthralled by his genius. But Curry's story is about more than skating. On the night of the final, Curry became the first openly gay Olympian at a time when homosexuality was barely legal. From bullying and prejudice, to relief in the gay underworld, to his untimely death from AIDS, Curry's story dovetails with the experiences of a generation. Tortured by demons, Curry was forever on the run. Never owning a home, he lived on the favours of those who loved him. The only place he found true freedom was the ice. This is the story of a man whose body was a battleground. From love affairs, to violence in sex clubs, to its 'unmanly' elegance on the ice, every act was rebellion. John Curry was no activist, but an artist expressing his authentic self - yet in a world where his existence was taboo, his life was unavoidably political.
工作mark，看得极其不认真。印象很深的是那句台词：才能と悪魔が彼の身体に同時に宿っている。

片名取得不好。这个Ice King的称号，有点太夸大了。冰上芭蕾王，或许更合适些。主角专攻艺术，是艺术家啦。影片的政治内容带入，我个人不喜欢。4星推荐
美呆了
不会绑架公主的ice king，原来他喜欢男人。
不朽的传奇，悲哀的人生，众多天才的结局。

太美了…
滑冰画面美，但叙事和形式还是太简单。Freddie Fox旁白太弱
广州纪录片节第一部电影打卡。我从小就爱看花滑，为之醉心。极致的美和追求极致的艺术家。即使年过去了，我们的时代和花滑都在技术上进步了，而人的思想观念却并没有多大进步。这部纪录片值得更多人看到。

浪漫又忧伤，活跃又孤独，就像是他在冰上跳的每一只舞。超出预期的好看，本以为侧重点在花滑这项竞技体育的比赛上，但实际是结合了John Curry的生平来讲述他一生的缩影。时间线非常清晰、书信的表达形式也极好、朋友或者情人的口述配上大量照片和视频，如同进入到70-80年代中。#金红棉#
