The Red Shoes (1948)


☆ ☆ ☆ 


The Red Shoes (1948) – M. Powell/E. Pressburger

The 17 minute ballet sequence is amazingly surreal and full of way out art-direction (as one would expect from Powell & Pressburger). The rest of the story speaks to the trade-off between committing to one's artform and having a normal life. In my book, Black Narcissus is the better Archers' film but Anton Walbrook does give an impressive performance here.
