One of my favorite Ballet 🩰 Films, since I was a ballet student and then teacher. Moira Shearer is exquisite, as usual. I’ve always disliked the end though. 😥
"It was the first time that a painter designed a film" I think he said this without any care for whether or not it was true statement. It's not true. One easy example is La Chien Andelou.
I am almost ashamed to admit that, even as a devotee of movies and film making, I didn't discover The Archers until just a few years ago. My first exposure to their genius was "A Matter of Life and Death." Next was "The Red Shoes." After that was "Black Narcissus" followed by everything else of theirs that I could find. These guys were geniuses with unfathomable (to me) talent. "The Red Shoes" just sucks me in whenever I start watching it. The ballet scene makes time stop for me.
One of the best movies I have ever seen, and I am not a dancing aficionado
What a treat, it’s been my favorite movie since I was eight years old 1954. My mom was ballet teacher and of course I studied too
What a brilliant little film - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, Ysabelle! We have new videos coming in the next few weeks.
Moria Shearer, Robert Helpman 🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼
Beautiful movie! I reqatch it at least 4 times a year. The special effects and set design was phenomenal for that time!,I love Moira Shearer ❤❤❤
Reminds me of my days in ballet. And the red toe shoes. My favorite! 1948-51. 🩰
Are there any books on the behind the scenes art design about The Red Shoes?

Don't you love Tales of Hoffmann? A genius film and so gorgeous.
“Why do you want to live”? Always gets to me 😢🥲 genuinely my answer if someone asked me why do I want to illustrate.
except nobody asks questions like "why do you illustrate" in real life.
@ people actually have. It’s an art after all.
