Exquisite

I don't have the words to describe how this film hits. I just can't get it out of my mind. The talent of its players, the beauty and richness of its colour, the artistry of its production. Its astonishing to think this film was made in the 1940s.Moira Shearer is a revelation, her dancing is deeply affecting. Anton Walbrook is hypnotic, almost every line he has is quotable. Leonide Massine is simply one of the 20th century's great artists. Robert Helpmann's choreography is sublime. Marius Goring is utterly charming. Brian Easdale's score is enchanting.I could go on. I can't of think of enough superlatives to do this film justice through words. Find the restored version and a big TV set and you will understand.

A work of Art.

A breathtaking film, the perfect match between astonishing visuals and heartbreaking story. With technicolor's exceptional mark on this work and the huge effort from the art department, The Red Shoes took its artistic approach to a whole new level with one of most decorative and charming mise en scène in cinema. This is a powerful yet a tragic story about art, obsession, jealousy and devotion conducted by two grand masters Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.A classic piece.
