Tuesday, April 14 at 7 PM

“The film is voluptuous in its beauty and passionate in its storytelling. You don’t watch it, you bathe in it. ”
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

KPAC presents THE RED SHOES as part of our Centennial Series, featuring one iconic film from each decade the Kenworthy has been operating. The Red Shoes, the singular fantasia from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, is cinema’s quintessential backstage drama, as well as one of the most glorious Technicolor feasts ever concocted for the screen. Moira Shearer is a rising star ballerina torn between an idealistic composer and a ruthless impresario intent on perfection. Featuring outstanding performances, blazingly beautiful cinematography by Jack Cardiff, Oscar-winning sets and music, and an unforgettable, hallucinatory central dance sequence, this beloved classic, dazzlingly restored, stands as an enthralling tribute to the life of the artist.

Rated: Approved | 2 hr 15 min | Tickets: $8 Adult / $5 Child / Film Pass
