'The Red Shoes' by Pamela Hutchinson (BFI Film Classics paperback 112 pages)
Pamela Hutchinson's study of 'The Red Shoes' examines its breathtaking use of Technicolour, music, choreography, editing and art direction at the zenith of Powell and Pressburger's capacity for 'composed cinema'. Through a close reading of key scenes, particularly the film's famous extended ballet sequence, she considers the unconventional use of ballet as uncanny spectacle and the feminist implications of the central story of female sacrifice.
