Product Information
This seminal dance film, created Powell and Pressburger, in which an impresario takes a ballerina under his wing, deftly combines interpretive dance with drama. This acclaimed adaption of a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale results in a marked triumph of artistic collaboration and modernity. More than any other film, THE RED SHOES deals with the dangerous, magical process by which art is distilled from preparation and effort.Product Identifiers

Moira Shearer's dancing is a joy to watch...
This movie has been rated as the 9th greatest British film by the British Film Institute and I can see why. I have always liked it and bought this DVD to replace my failing tape. (The DVD also has "special features" which the tape does not have). It is based upon the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name. I would guess that most people are on one side of the fence or the other when it comes to this movie because the plot is rather unusual (perhaps even surreal) in a sense although very artfully pieced together (the use of color is quite striking). It did win the Academy Award for Best Art Direction. Moira Shearer's dancing is a joy to watch, and of course she is stunning as well. Her performance of a woman torn between the love of a man and the love of her art is top notch.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A vintage masterpiece
Based on a fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson, The Red Shoes is a profound piece about art and ambition. it is set partly in Monte Carlo and has a wonderful dance sequence played by Moira Shearer, who is the wearer and dancer of the red shoes. The story is about the terrible conflict between the ambitions of those who reach the heights of great art and their desire to love and live a "normal" life. They are caught and driven on by the ambition of the impressario, Lermontov, whose character is loosely based on the real life Diaghilev. As well, one of Diaghilev's dancers, Leonid Massine, plays an important role in this including his own choreography of the shoemaker. A beautiful and thought provoking movie, it is one of my favorites.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

One of the most amazing movies I've ever seen!
I had no idea at all that a 1948 movie could be so spectacular! For one thing, there are some special effects in the ballet sequence of the title that I would not have thought existed at that time. This old movie seems much more modern than you would dream possible, and I mean that in the best possible way. It's amazing. The sheer spectacle of the ballet productions is worth the price of the film, but you get far more than that. I heartily recommend, especially to anyone who is interested in dance. I wasn't particularly enthralled with dance when I rented this film from Amazon, but if I had a chance to see the level of ballet that this film portrays, I'd want to be at a ballet production every night of the week. In any event, after renting the film, I knew I had to own my own copy. It's a must-see.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Outstanding entertainment
The Red Shoes, the singular fantasia from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, is cinema’s quintessential backstage drama, as well as one of the most glorious Technicolor feasts ever concocted for the screen. Featuring outstanding performances, blazingly beautiful cinematography by Jack Cardiff, Oscar-winning sets and music, and an unforgettable, hallucinatory central dance sequence, this beloved classic, now dazzlingly restored, stands as an enthralling tribute to the life of the artist.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A well preserved classic.
The Red Shoes, the singular fantasia from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (Black Narcissus, The Small Back Room), is cinema’s quintessential backstage drama, as well as one of the most glorious Technicolor visual feasts ever concocted for the screen. Though the film shows it age it's still a fantastic movie to watch especially on a big screen.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Entertaining and fanciful
I love this movie, but cannot find it anywhere anymore. I bought it for my teenage grand daughter who is studying ballet. I hope she likes it as much as I do.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Las zapatillas del mal
¿Por qué lo que es de color rojo lo asociamos al mal? Es una excelente producción la cual esperé mucho tiempo para disfrutarla. Sus argumentos son muy válidos al igual que la extraordinaria coreografía para el ballet de las zapatillas rojas. Su mésica son acordes que llevan un ritmo al vuelo de las piernas de sus danzantes. El tema: entre el bien y el mal. El deseo por poseer las zapatillas, es el mismo deseeo por amar a su creador. aunque se interpone el mal que son las mismas zapatillas. No se puede estar con dios y el diablo a la misma vez. Tampoco amar a dos personas tan diferentes sin que alguien sufra. Y al final, la liberación de las zapatillas, libera el alma.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
