    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 visual feasts ever concocted for the screen. Moira Shearer is a rising star ballerina romantically torn between an idealistic composer and a ruthless impresario intent on perfection. 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.

    • New, restored high-definition digital transfer
    • Audio commentary by film historian Ian Christie, featuring interviews with stars Marius Goring and Moira Shearer, cinematographer Jack Cardiff, composer Brian Easdale, and filmmaker Martin Scorsese

  • Amazing DVD

    This film is a true classic for it's time. The background and subject matter are well known and the movie's notoriety is made based upon the made upon the subject matter (fairy tale, ballet) and rendering (restored images are beautiful). However, I bought this movie primarily because of the cinematographer, Jack Cardiff. The special features and images help make this a great purchase for a movie buff who truly enjoys state of the art (for it's time) films
