THE RED SHOES
(1948, United Kingdom) Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
We are proud to present Michael Powell's and Emeric Pressburger's masterpiece in this Los Angeles premiere of the glorious new restoration by the UCLA Film & Television Archive — following its world premiere in May at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Employing both traditional chemical and cutting-edge digital processes, this restoration, supervised by UCLA preservationist Robert Gitt, has eliminated years' worth of damage, revealing a cinematic marvel even more vibrant and electrifying than many fans may remember. The story traces the rapid rise of a beautiful, gifted ballerina (Moira Shearer) in a world-class ballet company; her growing love for a young composer (Marius Goring); and the Svengali-like impresario (Anton Walbrook) whose utter commitment to the ballet brings the young lovers to a terrifying emotional precipice. Its audacious suggestion to a postwar world that art was "worth dying for" (Powell), is completely borne out even today by its unforgettable portrayal of the warring passions that are sublimated and ignited in the creation of beauty. A landmark in film style and thematics, The Red Shoes has become a touchstone to cineastes, lovers of dance, and filmmakers ranging from Vincente Minnelli to Martin Scorsese. Its astounding production design, music and choreography, its shockingly sumptuous color palette and revolutionary treatment of dance on film, now may be rediscovered and savored anew.
Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive, in cooperation with the British Film Institute, The Film Foundation, ITV Global Entertainment, Ltd. and Janus Films.
