The Auteurs Daily: Angels Wanna Wear Her Red Shoes
7 November 2009 5:54 AM, PST | The Auteurs | See recent The Auteurs news »
Updated through 11/7. Once again, by necessity, a roundup of events in New York.
"By pure serendipity, two magnificent movies about ballet - one fiction, one fact; one a restored classic, one a brand-new work making its Us premiere - open within 48 hours of each other at Film Forum this week." Melissa Anderson in the Voice: "Frederick Wiseman's vérité La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet offers a portrait of suppleness and agility - not just that of the dancers' bodies, but also of the august institution of the title. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1948 masterpiece, The Red Shoes, feverishly explores the demands of art at the expense of personal life.... Both films offer us the extraordinary experience of watching the burning commitment to perfection." »
Scorsese on “The Red Shoes”: “It’s cinema as music”
5 November 2009 5:25 AM, PST | IndieWIRE | See recent indieWIRE news »
Nearly ten years ago, at the turn of the millenium, Martin Scorsese selected “The Red Shoes,” co-directed by his closest collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker’s late husband, Michael Powell, to be the first movie he’d project in his private screening in the year 2000. Scorsese, Schoonmaker and a few company colleagues watched the movie together. And then they had a two-hour conversation about it. “This film is music,” Martin Scorsese said on Tuesday … »
The Red Shoes: Relaced and Restored
4 November 2009 7:15 PM, PST | GreenCine Daily | See recent GreenCine Daily news »
Even in this age of Blu-ray and appreciation for all things high-def, many take for granted how complicated but vital a great film restoration can be. Buzzed about at this year's Cannes Film Festival as one of the most miraculous to date is the UCLA Film & Television Archive's restoration of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1948 masterpiece The Red Shoes, starring Moira Shearer as a gifted young ballerina forced to choose between her love for composer Marius Goring and a career as lead dancer and muse to ballet company impresario Anton Walbrook. In association with the BFI, The Film Foundation, ITV Global Entertainment Ltd., and Janus Films, the restored 35mm print—which Film Foundation founder Martin Scorsese has praised as one of his all-time faves and the most extraordinary use of the three-strip Technicolor process—dazzled a packed house at the DGA Theater last night.

Emily Blunt Films With Matt and Poses With John

Emily Blunt joined Matt Damon Monday for a long afternoon on the NYC set of The Adjustment Bureau. After working on a few scenes, they took a quick lunch break before heading home afterward in the dark. Emily had another late night yesterday, when she joined fiance John Krasinski for a premiere of The Red Shoes. We've been pondering what it would be like if John's The Office met Mad Men, but he was all about posing and smiling with Emily as they checked out the movie alongside newly announced Oscar host Alec Baldwin.

Michael Jackson's movie ambitions included 3-D film of 'Thriller,' 'Red Shoes' remake
30 October 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
In a sadly ironic twist, This is It has become the hit movie that Michael Jackson never managed to make while he was alive. Jackson’s most prominent big-screen role was as the Scarecrow in the 1978 flop The Wiz, but he continued to explore his love of movies with projects like the 14-minute “Thriller” video and Captain Eo, the short science-fiction film he made with Francis Ford Coppola in the mid-1980s. In an interview for EW’s recent cover story, This Is It director Kenny Ortega revealed that Jackson continued to harbor cinematic ambitions right up to the end of his life. »

David Gordon Green's Suspiria Remake to Shoot in 2010
13 September 2009 4:35 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
David Gordon Green's career as a director has traveled through a variety of genres, starting in indie fare like All the Real Girls and Snow Angels before finding box office success with the stoner comedy Pineapple Express. Green's adding another genre to his resume with the upcoming horror thriller Freaks of the Heartland and a remake of Dario Argento's horror classic, Suspiria.
Green has been working on Suspiria for some time now, but, as Variety reports, shooting will finally begin in 2010. Green excitedly described the movie to ReelzChannel over a year ago:
It's great. You just have to see it. [I'm going for] the vivid technicolor achievement of The Red Shoes with the intensity and fear and anxiety of The Silence of the Lambs. Natalie Portman has been rumored for the lead, but while no confirmation has been made, Portman is currently shooting the comedy fantasy Your Highness with Green and »

A Prairie Home Companion’s Garrison Keillor Gets Documentary Treatment In The Man On The Radio In The Red Shoes
31 August 2009 9:44 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
If you're a fan of Garrison Keillor and A Prairie Home Companion, there's a good chance you're already familiar with the documentary The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes. It's just the nature of Keillor fans to find out what's going on. The touring dates sell out practically before anyone knows they're on sale. If you happen not to be aware, and have any interest in Garrison Keillor at all, you simple must check out this wonderful documentary. More than a year of filming put together by Peabody, DGA and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Rosen, showcases the brilliantly indescribable man who brought radio variety back to a world that had no idea it was interested. Originally airing on PBS' American Masters, the DVD is available with more than an hour of extras, and they are decidedly worthy additions. »

Shuffled Island, Scorsese's Schedules
23 August 2009 9:54 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
I neglected to mention the news of Shutter Island's shift to 2010 when it spread across the internet Friday (I swear, if you don't have your laptop grafted onto your body these days...). This shuffling happens to movies every year and everyone (including myself sometimes) acts surprised and put out as if it's never happened before. We have agreed to collective amnesia.
Dennis Lehane's 6th novel Mystic River was on screen two years after it
was published. His 7th, Shutter Island, is taking longer to crossover.
Generally speaking such schedule switcheroos prompt three distinct reactions each year
The studio lacks confidence in the movie and/or the movie isn't any good (suggesting that good = Oscar which it doesn't but that's another story)
This movie wasn't going to be AMPAS's cuppa anyway, no matter when it opened. Might be a good decision financially.
Yay. Something that's not total garbage is »

The greatest movies ever made
2 August 2009 10:59 AM, PDT | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
All lists of the "greatest" movies are propaganda. They have no deeper significance. It is useless to debate them. Even more useless to quarrel with their ordering of titles: Why is this film #11 and that one only #31? The most interesting lists are those by one person: What are Scorsese's favorites, or Herzog's? The least interesting are those by large-scale voting, for example by IMDb or movie magazines. The most respected poll, the only one I participate in, is the vote taken every 10 years by Sight & Sound, the British film magazine, which asks a large number of filmmakers, writers, critics, scholars, archivists and film festival directors.
1. The Night of the Hunter, 1955
That one at least has taken on a canonical aspect. The list evolves slowly. Keaton rises, Chaplin falls. It is eventually decided that "Vertigo" is Hitchcock's finest film. Ozu cracks the top ten. Every ten years the net is thrown out again. »

Tetro—A Question for Francis Ford Coppola
1 July 2009 5:15 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Shortly before the hordes began chanting, “The Daily is dead; long live The Daily”, David Hudson gathered reviews of Francis Ford Coppola’s Tetro, first from its Cannes debut, and then later mid-June when it opened stateside. Here in San Francisco, Coppola met with his audience at the film’s first screening at the Sundance Kabuki.
Outlining how The Godfather created a “tsunami of success” that irrevocably changed his life and filmmaking, Coppola has gleaned from the passing of years a restoration of creative spirit leaning into what he admits is his “second career.” Tetro is, in fact, the second film of his second career; Youth Without Youth being the first. Lustrously shot in digital and projected in 35mm, the film is a rapture to watch, even as its rich visuals disguise an anemic narrative that doesn’t quite ring true. One is grateful for what one has seen; but, »

Carey Left Waiting At Cannes
17 May 2009 7:10 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Mariah Carey was left waiting for a screening of her new movie Precious at the Cannes Film Festival in France on Friday - after Martin Scorsese overran with a presentation of a restored classic. The singer/actress was on the red carpet at the annual event to promote her upcoming drama, in which she has a small role as a social worker. But a planned showing of the movie on Friday evening was pushed back when director Scorsese took longer than expected to introduce a remastered version of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1948 movie The Red Shoes. Carey waited patiently for the film's promotional slot and took to the stage alongside her fellow stars Lenny Kravitz, Paula Patton, Gabby Sidbe, and director Lee Daniels to introduce the movie. Daniels told the assembled crowd, "Je suis fatiguee, (I'm very tired.) I've had too much champagne, so I'm not able to give the speech I spent three weeks preparing. "I say this movie was made with love, bubble gum, popsicle sticks, everyone on this stage, and grace." »
Scorsese To Introduce Red Shoes At Cannes
6 May 2009 1:10 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Martin Scorsese is to introduce a special screening of restored movie classic The Red Shoes at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
The cleaned-up version of the beloved 1948 masterpiece will premiere in Cannes on 15 May.
The film has undergone an extensive two-year digital restoration by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and The Film Foundation, in association with the British Film Institute and ITV Global Entertainment Ltd and Janus Films.
The restoration was funded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, The Film Foundation and the Louis B. Mayer Foundation.
Scorsese, the founder of The Film Foundation, jumped at the chance to be a part of the new screening, stating, "Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger created a vision in The Red Shoes, one that has never really been matched.
"There's no question that it's one of the most beautiful colour films ever made, and one of the truest to the experience of the artist, the joy and pain of devoting yourself to a life of creation." »
Jack Cardiff Dies
23 April 2009 5:46 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Legendary cinematographer and filmmaker Jack Cardiff passed away yesterday at the age of 94. An Oscar winner for Black Narcissus, in 1948, Cardiff's career as cinematographer spanned an astonishing eight decades, with his career in films going all the way back to an 1918 acting job.Cardiff will be best remembered for his long collaboration with directors Powell & Pressburger on films like A Matter of Life & Death and The Red Shoes, but he also worked on classics like The African Queen for John Huston, The Barefoot Contessa for Joseph L. Mankiewicz and King Vidor's War and Peace.Cardiff also directed films of his own, the most successful of which was probably Sons and Lovers, starring Trevor Howard and Dean Stockwell. He was working well into this century, and leaves behind a wife and four sons.Asked once which of his many credits he was most proud of, Cardiff replied, "Naturally, I am proud of successful films »
Jack Cardiff

Cinematographer and director Jack Cardiff, one of the early masters of color cinematography, has died. He was 94. Cardiff’s work as a cinematographer was quite eclectic, ranging from his partnership with Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger in the British-made Black Narcissus (1945) and The Red Shoes (1948) to prestigious international productions such as John Huston’s The African Queen (1951) and King Vidor’s War and Peace (1956), and to low-brow commercial fare such as Conan the Destroyer (1984) and Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985). I’ve never watched Conan or Rambo, but I have watched more than 20 of Cardiff’s 60 or so features, and I can testify that whether working in art-house or commercial fare, Cardiff’s cinematography was invariably one of his films’ chief assets. At times, his work was those films’ only asset. Born on Sept. 18, 1914, in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, to music hall entertainers, Cardiff began his film career as a cinematographer in the mid-1930s, »

Jack Cardiff, Legendary Cinematographer, Director And Writer, Dies At Age 94
22 April 2009 3:59 PM, PDT | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
The legendary Jack Cardiff is dead at age 94. He began his career as an actor in silent films, but later established himself as one of the industry's greatest cinematographers, with films such as The Red Shoes and The African Queen to his credit. Cardiff was a man of many talents, and dabbled in directing as well. Among his feature films were The Long Ships, Sons and Lovers, Young Cassidy and The Liquidator. Cardiff also wrote, directed and shot the popular 1960s cult film Girl on a Motorcycle (aka Naked Under Leather) starring Marianne Faithfull as a sexually promiscuous free spirit. Ironically, that film is the cover story of the latest issue of Cinema Retro, now out in England and due to ship in North America in early May. Cardiff was awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth in 2000.

Besides being a legendary Led Zeppelin recording, "Stairway to Heaven" is the more upbeat Us release title of a 1946 romantic fantasy known in Britain as "A Matter of Life and Death."
The singular writing-directing-producing team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger - who called themselves The Archers and are best known for "The Red Shoes" (1948) - cast David Niven as an Raf squadron leader who bails out of his burning plane without a functioning parachute.
