The Red Shoes returns to cinemas for its 75th anniversary.
In Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s visually ravishing masterpiece, a young ballerina is torn between the demands of love and art. Like the heroine of Hans Christian Andersen’s source fairytale, whose magic shoes compel her to dance, Victoria Page – played by real-life ballerina Moira Shearer – finds herself driven to breaking point by obsessive Russian impresario Lermontov (Anton Walbrook) when she’s cast in his ballet The Red Shoes....
he Red Shoes, the 1948 classic by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, has now been vividly restored for a cinema rerelease and it just blazes out of the screen: profoundly serious, sublimely innocent, yet deeply and mysteriously erotic...." The Guardian
"Michael Powell’s classic tale of a lovely young ballerina caught between love and her burning passion for dance has been restored to a dazzling Technicolor splendour not seen since its original release. Cinephiles and dance lovers rejoice. — Bill Gosden NZIFF
