Questo grandioso lungometraggio in Technicolor segue una talentuosa ballerina, Victoria Page, costretta a scegliere tra l’ascesa nei ranghi della compagnia e i sentimenti per un giovane compositore.

Dazzling, rapturous, unforgettable—now this is what such adjectives should be saved for. Powell and Pressburger’s ’40s ballet film is a ravishing Technicolor masterpiece, an essential cinematic landmark (its biggest fans: Martin Scorsese!), and a magical, timeless parable of the life of an artist.
