I think it's safe to say that without The Red Shoes there would be no Black Swan. Director team Michael Powell and Emeric Fassburger based the movie on the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale of the same name. While the movie is about ballet on the surface, it's really about emotional attachment, obsession and artistic dedication. The story and performances are all of extremely high quality. There's an abundance of passion in the three lead actors work and that combined with the beautiful use of Technicolor and fantastic cinematography make The Red Shoes one of the most well regarded British films of all time. The movie holds up extremely well over 60 years later and is highly recommended.
Rating: 4.5
