Summary: A ravishing look at the Indian classical dance form Mohini Attam, “The Dance of the Enchantress” neither explains nor interprets, satisfied to passively watch as teachers and students train and perform in and around palaces and temples of Kerala. Helmed by leading Indian arthouse director Adoor Gopalakrishnan (“Face to Face”), with dance historian Brigitte Chataignier credited as associate director, docu’s lyrical beauty could help it transcend dance fest showcasing, though the rarified subject and presentation will limit even arthouse play.
