Movie Reviews of The Red Shoes (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]Movie Review: incredible movie with a perfect print! Summary: 5 Stars
I love movies, classics, horror, b movies and some movies I would give higher stars to on lets say a b movie horror way wouldn't be applauded by regular critics at all. ( I still say they need a horror movie star system!) anyways this one is considered one of the best movies ever made and I agree. So my five star would be right in line with all people who understand GREAT CLassic CINEMA, It's fantastic and not boring in the least. But they really restored this one to perfection, hell even alot of modern movies on blu ray aren't restored enough to suite my tastes , but this one looks better than alot of modern movies. And unlike other restored films they used several type of prints to come up with this flawless print. I wish lets say 'stagecoach' was this restored , they still cleaned it up alot but I would rather them fully restore it even if I notice it than have lines in it. I bought that one though and it's better than most editions by far. This one is looks like I want all older movies to look like fantastic. The story is great too and I can say that this movie had alot of influence and not just on 'the black swan' a modern movie about ballet I enjoyed immensely as well. (it won best actress , this movies lead deserved one as well) Anyways this is a great movie that real lovers of cinema (not just movies should see in blu) and it has no negativ reviews unless one of amazons one star reviewers watch it. (they exist to put one stars on most things including classics). But none have been here yet only fans of this masterpiece and this wonderful blu ray.
Summary of The Red Shoes (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]The Red Shoes, the singular fantasia from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (Black Narcissus, The Small Back Room), is cinema?s quintessential backstage drama, as well as one of the most glorious Technicolor visual feasts ever concocted for the screen. Moira Shearer (The Tales of Hoffmann, Peeping Tom) is a rising star ballerina romantically torn between an idealistic composer and a ruthless impresario intent on perfection. Featuring outstanding performances, blazingly beautiful cinematography by Jack Cardiff (Black Narcissus, The African Queen), Oscar-winning sets and music, and an unforgettable, hallucinatory central dance sequence, this beloved classic, now dazzlingly restored, stands as an enthralling tribute to the life of the artist.
