Michael Powell's beautiful work of cinema is the story of a young ballerina who must choose between the composer who loves her and the ballet impresario who offers her the lead in his new ballet. Widely considered Powell Pressburger’s masterpiece, The Red Shoes is a haunting story which combines romance, ballet, magnificent choreography, art direction and set design. This rare 35mm print was recently restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive with help from Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation.

“Quite simply this is one of the miracles of cinema.” - Louise Oliver
