The Red Shoes : Turner Classic Movies British Film Guide Paperback / softback
by Mark Connelly
Part of the British Film Guides series
Paperback / softback
Description
Since its release in 1948 "The Red Shoes" has come to be regarded not only as a British classic, and as perhaps the most widely loved of all of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger' collaborations, but as a highlight of world cinema.
Its fantastic - and indeed fantastical - mixture of dance, music, colour and light has inspired audiences across the decades.
The first comprehensive study of the film that marks the pinnacle of the directors' remarkable relationship, Connelly's book offers fresh insights into this intriguing and beguiling work and into the characters at the heart of the story: the Svengali-like impresario and his obsession, the ingenue dancer embodied by the brilliant Moira Shearer.
According to many accounts the most successful British film ever made, it is fitting that "The Red Shoes" should be celebrated in 2005, the centenary of Powell's birth.
