HAILED BY SCORSESE AS "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COLOR FILM!"
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s The Red Shoes (1948) is a ravishing fusion of cinema and ballet, dancing between art and obsession. Moira Shearer stars as a young dancer torn between love and her consuming devotion to performance under a tyrannical impresario. Famous for its groundbreaking, dreamlike ballet sequence, the film dissolves the boundary between stage and screen in a blaze of Technicolor. Lush, tragic, and emotionally overwhelming, it's a beloved classic you don't want to miss.
Watch if you like… Technicolor, ballet, artistic rivalries, WHIPLASH, Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tales, Powell and Pressburger, BLACK SWAN, Impressionism, MOZART IN THE JUNGLE, Rilke's Letters To A Young Poet, dying for your art.
