Carl Davis - A Simple Man / Northern Ballet Theatre

Moira Shearer, Christopher Gable

BBC / Opus Arte, 2005

A Charming and Moving Ballet
It is with great embarrassment that I admit I'd never heard of the subject of this narrative ballet, 'A Simple Man': the English painter L. S. Lowry. Laurence Stephen Lowry (1887-1976) is claimed by some to be the best-known English painter of the 20th century. In his ...

Sling Shot, 2002

Historic Ballet
Some have quibbles with the quality of the visuals on this DVD, but every version has some problems, because the film this was made from was almost lost ... I'm jut happy to be able to see it in any form - it's a really important moment of ballet & ballet film ...

The Red Shoes - Criterion Collection

Albert Bassermann, Eric Berry

Criterion, 1999

This is the kind of film that truly inspires people to become dancers, filmmakers, artists, etc., etc....
I am a huge fan of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Their colloboration was one of the greatest and most unique in the history of cinema. This is probably their greatest film, even though there are others which are just as magnificent. This film is about ...

Reel Classic Films, 2007

The Red Shoes (1948) - IMPORT - ALL REGIONS (chinese import, not korean)
MOIRA SHEARER

You don't have to be a balletomane to enjoy THE RED SHOES, although ballet is so integral a part of the film that it might help. THE TURNING POINT was a much more realistic look at pirhouettes and plies, gut this is the one that will stand out in your memory as the ultimate ballet picture, until a better one comes along, if ever. It't a backstage ...
