Art, Life, & Death: 3 Films by The Archers

Arts + Ideas Moira Shearer stars as Vicky Page in this masterful update to the Hans Christian Andersen story. Page, an aspiring ballerina, is torn between complete artistic dedication to her craft and the desire for romance and a normal life. ‘The Archers’ was a unique filmmaking partnership formed by British film director Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, a Hungarian writer who fled Nazi Germany and emigrated to England.

From the mid-1930s through the mid-1950s the two were inseparable as a creative team, creating their own production company, The Archers, and collaborating on some of Britain’s most renowned films of the period. Along with a regular troupe of actors, DP Jack Cardiff, Production Designer Alfred Junge, and Art Director Hein Heckroth, The Archers’ cinema embraced fantasy, subjectivity, and artificiality as ironic… Summary: The Red Shoes (1948) (2h 16m) Moira Shearer stars as Vicky Page in this masterful update to the Hans Christian Andersen story.
