Restoration Demonstration, Criterion
Martin Scoreses

Would watch this over and over again as a kid with my mom growing up. The drama of it all and her dancing had me entranced

[@Not_So_Slim_Shady]

Everyone that loves movies needs to thank Matin Scorsese for all that he's done for the industry.

[@g3cd]

I actually bought the restored film on Blu Ray ... again, as I already had the previous version on DVD. THE best ballet film ever made, period.

[@pianomanhere]

The end product demonstrates the true devotion this restoration team had for its labor of love. The movie and its restoration are masterpieces.

[@petersolomon5227]

Very Moving. Ordinarily I am critical of the “can do” American exceptionalism that has resulted in Hollywood interference in other national film cultures. However the digital restoration of this and other Powell and Pressburger films is to be congratulated. The digital restoration and remastering of any film is a labour of love. The restoration of the The Red Shoes was less to do with anticipating high financial returns than honouring another nation’s great film-makers.

[@antagonistlover]

That's so nice to see how some great directors do other great directors justice. Thanks to Scorsese we can enjoy nowadays The Red Shoes and Peeping Tom by Powell.

[@toddmaniatoddmania9844]

Also The Tales of Hoffmann

It was through Martin Scorsese that I discovered this wonderful film.

[@aliofly]

I saw this film for this first time tonight at one of The Light cinemas in the UK - it looked absolutely incredible

[@JHarder1000]

Thank you God for giving us this man.

[@marvinc9994]

If it hadn't been for the great Marty Scorsese, it's just possible that we wouldn't be able to appreciate the Powell and Pressburger magic today. God bless him !

[@jacksonmaloney8520]

I think anyone who has any creative ambitions or obsesses over their creative efforts in any medium will ultimately resonate with this film. I truly hate at times how I simply cannot be in the moment or prioritise other life commitments due to my obessions with my creative/artisitc output.

[@nithinsuku]

Watching this movie in theater made me fall in love with technicolor films. They are so gorgeous!

[@LivingDove]

I am intrigued that Scorsese loves this film, since he has never made a ballet film in his life, as far as I know. It came as such as surprise, when I learned this.

[@65g4]

This is a wonderful film i just ordered it on blu ray

[@johne6081]

As did I.

[@65g4]

@Randy White i dont have a 4k tv im happy with blu ray i just received it in the mail its a great dvd

[@trippingandbrowsing1269]

@Randy White the Criterion release includes both 4k + Blu Ray

[@benhusting8758]

Scorsese is the GOAT

[@chrisherbert9924]

It is a very good film, the colours in it are very impressive looking too.

[@caremell]

may be i am insane but i both enjoy that little fuzzy image of an old movie and of course crystal restored image.

[@is.sa.]

I know exactly what you mean. It's not like we enjoy a blurred print , ofcourse we love the perfect one. But we're fond of the blurred ones because that's how we've actually seen the picture for the first time and it goes way back. Nostalgic Rusted Trophies 😋😋

[@aidanmca4177]

I really hope someone does this with Dersu Uzala. One of Kurosawa’s most beautiful films, not only visually but definitely visually. The available versions have lots of colour breathing etc tho

[@GustavoBatataeMoloco]

God bless Martin Scorsese man

[@MalvinderKaur-e7x]

showbiz audio visual medium has delighted audiences kept them hooked entertained amidst really strange conditions like lockdowns and others somebody sick in bed can either read or watch television or monitor for whatever is out there now in various forms of fares, documentary, news movies series... all of it informative bringing world to you.. a complex expensive complicated process in which not always wealth got made, the golden times ones, yet the voice to correct world's systems, its crooks ways, mocking it over and over again never went away.

[@srfurley]

I have seen several Technicolor films, but not this one, projected from original nitrate prints by carbon arc. They had a certain look which Easrmancolor prints could not quite reproduce. I recently saw The Red Shoes projected from a DCP, and it came closer to the original Technicolor look than other restorations that I have seen.

[@robinanwaldt]

Hold on, it was scanned in 4K? Hopefully we get a UHD release someday...

[@robinanwaldt]

@@horserotorvator I know! And from Criterion no less! I’m absolutely thrilled!

[@TheFbiFilesRepeat]

Soon to be released yiihaa

[@yeaboy707]

[@Poppaea-Sabina]

The colors came out so vidly in the restoration.

[@GOODBOYMODZZ]

Awesome

[@BellaFirenze]

The director's name is

[@malvinderkaur4187]

marvelous! and this is what i mean the serious in business people rather then the image of drug substance abuse free sex exploitations environment which plagues this industry, not even given Industry recognition so it can demand those perks, the only industry which help people engage their attention when nothing else can, in every diversity.

Women dont know about shrinkage?

[@rachaelmmattison9668]
