Synopsis

This is one of the most famous modern love stories of the century, given to us by the legendary filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. It is a story that has moved generations of aspirants to the arts since the film The Red first appeared nearly fifty years ago. Here is the beautiful, tortured Victoria Page, torn by her passion for the ballet as well as by the love of young Julian Craster. Here, too, is the cruel, seductive impresario Boris Lermontov, who will give Vicky the red shoes in which she will dance out her tragic destiny.
