Just saw this new 4k restoration last night. I'm speechless.

[@emilygracey]

This film is in my top 5 films of all time and I love seeing the good doctor giving it the praise it deserves ☺

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

Powell and Pressburger, wow.....what a resume! :)

[@2020Bookworm]

Jack Cardiff should have gotten an award for this movie.

A Masterpiece

[@joep8787]

How many little girls have been influenced to try ballet because they were taken to see this movie by mothers who themselves had dreams of ballet. I saw this movie as a special presentation by my local public library, and the room was filled with mothers and their daughters.

I heard that it was going to be remade with Victoria Beckham in the lead role. (Moira Shearer was probably the best ballet dancer ever in England).

[@65g4]

Your joking remade with victoria beckham 🤣🤣🤣

[@rabbieburns2501]

Moira Shearer was Scottish

Terribly edited; snippets from Hoffman when they’re discussing TRS and vice versus.

[@BakingItOnBroadway]

Which moments are you referring to? Every time they show TRS ballet, it's the music from the film. The only non-TRS music heard is when they show a clip of Shearer performing Coppelia in the movie. As far as I can tell, anyway.

[@tupmanzozzie]

@@BakingItOnBroadway You''re right! I'd forgotten there is a snippet of Coppelia in TRS. Entirely my bad, and apologies to Mark Kermode.
