The Red Shoes (1948)

A gifted young ballerina (Moira Shearer) is caught between her all-consuming devotion to dance and her love for a composer, drawn ever deeper into the obsessive world of a brilliant impresario (Anton Walbrook). With its rapturous Technicolor visuals and unforgettable dance sequences, this is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made about art and sacrifice.
