Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 15, 2026 The Third Man is sometimes talked-up as the greatest of all British films, despite its American actors and Viennese setting. Personally, I'd nominate The Red Shoes. For the record, I have no interest in ballet. So you don't need to be a balletomane (is that the word?) to enjoy this. The fact remains, the central ballet performance in The Red Shoes is one of the most beautiful, phantasmagorical sequences in the entire history of filmmaking. And its story? Three intensely passionate, creative people, are pulled towards and away from one another, in an emotional tussle that can only end in tragedy. Powell & Pressburger's magnum opus is sensational and heart-breaking. The Red Shoes is the apotheosis of the melodrama. See more G L @RT09869090 Jul 3, 2026 Ballet & drama, the show must go on.

You'll get something out of its high production values, but there's a rather pointlessly dark fairytale at its heart.

The cinematography is bar none to any other movie and the acting superb. Even if you are not a fan of ballet, I encourage you to watch it.

See more Luca D @JoeCamel7 Apr 26, 2025 The acting was good enough not top tier, but what carries this movie is some of the best choreography I have ever seen, and great set designs accompanied by an amazing soundtrack. Overall a big creative melting pot that is a lot of fun to watch and listen to. See more Read all reviews
