The Red Shoes is a relatively new favorite of mine. I saw it for the first time two years ago at the urging of my nearest and dearest, Ginny Branch Stelling. Ginny knows what’s up when it comes to beautiful old movies so when she speaks, I listen. The Red Shoes is a 1948 British film following the rise of a young ballerina and her struggle to come to terms with her dueling passions. The dancing is phenomenal. If you’re a ballet nerd like me, you’ll be spellbound. If you’re not, get your priorities straight already.

The Red Shoes is a stunner on every level. The colors are breathtaking, the costumes unreal, the dancing sublime- even the ending is satisfyingly twisted for such a girlish little flick.
Attention New Yorkers! The Red Shoes is playing at our beloved Film Forum through Thursday evening. I will be the one twirling in the aisles, popcorn flying every which way. -amy m.
