#advent calendar 2020#favourite scenes#24/24#the red shoes#the introduction of the main characters and the ballet world#michael powell#emeric pressburger#jean short#marius goring#gordon littmann#julia lang#bill shine#austin trevor#anton walbrook#the film starts with the students running to their seats#to see the world premiere of ‘heart of fire’ of ballet lermontov#music and ballet students are arguing#they are so eager with their enthusiasm#suddenly they notice the composer and the ballet director#later we see the young ballet dancer Victoria Page on one balcony#who’s come to enjoy the show#at the same time we learn who are the main characters#and how does the ballet world look like#a spectator is pushed fast to the right watching mode#on top of that the story drops little by little more details about the characters#i love how the film keeps a viewer under control from start till the very end#i’d say this is one of the greatest films ever done#because of its script & characters & story#own gif#own post
