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.
