The Red Shoes
Great in so many aspects.
A colourful voyage through at-that-time knowledge how at-that-time artist way is explored and lived.
From character building (English actors probably fluently speaking French) to mise en scène the film constantly satisfies on levels that you forgot you can be aware of.
I had a problem with the ballet sequence — it was too overwhelming after my inner voice was consequently speaking „masterpiece!” for the first hour. But after having a brake for few hours, when I got back, film continued to satisfy.
There is really much that can be liked or loved in this movie and I'm somehow missing it already. I'm thinking of diving deeper into The Archers because of that.
Outstanding piece of filmmaking. Would recommend.
