The 1948 British drama The Red Shoes gets a vibrant retrospective at the British Film Institute Southbank Centre with an exhibition celebrating the many talents involved in the ballet-centric tragiromance.
"Don’t forget, a great impression of simplicity can only be achieved by great agony of body and spirit." says Boris Lermentov, the tough-as-nails impresario behind a majestic ballet production in The Red Shoes.
Perhaps this piece of dialogue sums up the very essence of the 1948 film helmed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the directing/writing duo also known as The Archers.
