Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s THE RED SHOES (’48) tells the story of a young ballerina (Moira Shearer) who is torn between her love of dance and her love for a young composer (Marius Goring). It is the ultimate film about the art of dance.
This famous 17-minute ballet sequence was the first original ballet created for film. Powell added animation and montage sequences to give it an almost supernatural effect.
