ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - A treat from start to finish [...] Magical, New York Times - Lush, beloved [...] Overripe appeal, Empire - Wrapped up with gorgeous sparkly colour, off-the-beaten-track classical music selections, and a sinister edge that perfectly catches the ambiguity of traditional as opposed to Disney fairy tales, this remains a luminous masterpiece
AuthorHans Christian Andersen
Additional InformationThis 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.

  • Ballet marvellous!

    Condition of dvd is excellent - better than expected! This is a great film drama, gripping and very original. Looks a little dated now, perhaps, but was first released shortly after the war, so it's not surprising. A classic.

  • Enjoyable look back

    A favourite movie of Martin Scorsese. Modern camera angles and treatment for its age and often capturing stage performance.
