The Red Shoes1948

every tiny detail in this movie is pure craftsmanship. the film is breathtaking from start to finish, and that ballet sequence is ABSOLUTELY mesmerizing. the cinematography left me speechless.....it’s so rich, expressive, and just visually intoxicating. still, something about it didn’t fully move me emotionally. maybe it’s that odd mix of resonance and distance, like i admired it more than i felt it. i kept wishing victoria’s character was explored a little deeper as there’s so much potential there that feels just out of reach. but honestly, it’s still an incredible film. the technicolor gives it this dreamy, otherworldly quality which is quaint, magical, and utterly timeless!!
