The Red Shoes

One of the masterpieces of post-war cinema, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s operatic tale of the cost of artistic perfection holds a rightful place as one of the greatest films of all time.

Whether this is a discovery or re-discovery, you will delight at the stunningly restored Technicolor cinematography, the mind-blowing sets and practical effects, as well as the heartbreaking story of Vicky Page (ballerina Moira Shearer). Trying to capture the lightning in a bottle of her dancing talents, theatrical impresario Lermontov (Anton Walbrook) casts her as the lead in his stage adaptation of The Red Shoes. But is the price of becoming her generation’s greatest dancer worth it?
