The Red Shoes (PG)
Advertisement
Dunfermline-born Moira Shearer stars as a young ballet dancer, torn between the man she loves and her pursuit to become a prima ballerina.
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s visually ravishing masterpiece. A young ballerina is torn between the demands of love and art. Like the heroine of Hans Christian Andersen’s source fairytale, whose magic shoes compel her to dance, Victoria Page (Moira Shearer) finds herself driven to breaking point by obsessive Russian impresario Lermontov (Anton Walbrook) when she’s cast in his ballet The Red Shoes.
Join us for the opening film of our Red Shoes Festival – a summer celebration of Scottish music and dance, centred on Dunfermline’s own Moira Shearer and the cultural places and people connected to her life and legacy and marking the centenary of her birth.
Dirs: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
Cast: Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring, Léonide Massine
Production Year: 1948
