Tell me about The Red Shoes

Must be worn with The Red Bag to match.

HIGHLY underrated Kate Bush album from 1993. Most of it is absolutely breathtaking. Try: Eat the Music, Moments of Pleasure, Rubberband Girl and Constellation of the Heart.

Okay, I was thinking more along the lines of this:

It's my mother's favorite film. I love the ballet sequences but like all of the director's other films, the characters are unpleasant and impossible to like, which I know is the whole point but still only the ballet scenes are worth rewatching. The cinematography is brilliant.

I never heard about The Red Shoes, I never saw The Red Shoes, I don't give a fuck about The Red Shoes.

Considering the overwhelming majority of us eldergays weren't even alive when The Red Shoes premiered why don't you tell us about Star Wars?

Something, something, something darkside is all you need to know about Star Wars, r7.

What red shoes?

Hi, 2015 bump troll. I see you're active tonight. Too many anti-Trump and pro-protest threads for you?

OP I am 55 and I love " The Red Shoes" from it's ballet to Jack Cardiff's exquisite cinematography to Moira Shearer's red hair. I have always seen it like a fairytale just like the story it invokes. That has always made it more interesting to watch. I agree that not one character is someone you would like to know. But it's a great work about an artist's addiction to art. Maybe it should be double- billed with " Pollock".

It's a splendid film made all the more splendid because there isn't another one like it. A team of extremely creative people did their best work and created something extraordinary. If you're a visual person, OP, this one is absolutely for you. Anton Walbrook is smoking hot as the impresario Boris Lermontov.

The only problem with the film is the miscast Marius Goring. I can't believe he was a good choice, even in 1948.
