The Red Shoes

Director
Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
Certificate
U
Running Time
131 mins

Often acclaimed as one of the greatest achievements of British cinema, Powell and Pressburger’s tale of the rise and fall of a ballerina is a little melodramatic, but the visualisation is superb – “a rhapsody of colour expressionism” leading to a memorable climax.

This is the brand spanking new, completely restored Technicolor print, screened in 4K. It’s screened to launch the Watershed’s January Sunday brunch All the Stage’s a World season of films chosen by Wise Children’s Emma Rice.
