THE RED SHOES

Dirs. Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger | 1948 | UK | 133 MIN ››Sat Jul 10 – 7 PM ››Sun Jun 11 – 7:30 PM ››Wed Jul 14 – 7:30 PM Newly restored 35mm print! Widely regarded as one of the most beautifully photographed artistic films of all time, The Red Shoes is the story of an aspiring young ballerina who joins a world famous ballet company in pursuit of her art. She must choose between the composer who loves her and the ballet impresario who offers her the lead in his new ballet. Widely considered Powell Pressburger’s masterpiece, The Red Shoes is a haunting story which combines romance, ballet, magnificent choreography, art direction and set design. This rare 35mm print was recently restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive with help from Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation. “Quite simply this is one of the miracles of cinema.” – Louise Oliver
