Wouldn't have expected that a 15-minute ballet scene would be my favoutire part of this wonderful film. :) 10 years 4 months ago -

Absolutely brilliant.
@seithscott Definitely. Some of Aronofsky's compositions for Black Swan were directly lifted from this film. They're virtually identical in terms of theme (the exploration of the value of art) and plot, although Swan is darker and campier. Some say Swan owes a debt to The Red Shoes, I say it owes it's entire existence to this Archers masterpiece. 12 years 10 months ago
