In this classic backstage drama from the acclaimed filmmaking team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, Vicky Page (played by the luminous Moira Shearer) is an aspiring ballerina torn between her dedication to dance and her desire to love. While her imperious instructor, Boris Lermontov, urges to her to forget anything but ballet, Vicky begins to fall for the charming young composer Julian Craster. Eventually Vicky, under great emotional stress, must choose to pursue either her art or her romance.
Featuring outstanding performances, blazingly beautiful cinematography by Jack Cardiff, Oscar-winning sets and music, and an unforgettable, hallucinatory central dance sequence, this beloved classic stands as an enthralling tribute to the life of the artist.
And join us in the microcinema July 26-August 2 for the definitive documentary of Powell and Pressburger: Made in England, narrated by Martin Scorsese.
