THE RED SHOES IS A BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE OF CINEMA
Talk about stunning Technicolor. This enduring 1948 classic is by far and wide the most beautiful motion picture ever put on celluloid. This Criterion edition, now in 4K Ultra HD is even more brilliant. Besides awesome color, this is also the finest movie about ballet, not only a romantic drama, but an unforgettable portrayal of the art form starring some of the world's greatest ballet dancers of the era. Criterion has presented over 1000 great movies, but The Red Shoes is one of its greatest reminders of film as an authentic masterpiece.
I wasn’t sure how much better the 4K release would be over the already excellent Blu-ray, but Criterion really hit this one out of the park. I found myself mesmerized by the incredible colors and extra amounts of detail visible in the frames. Some of the close-ups are jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
