Tonight ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nineweaving and I began our projected Powell and Pressburger film festival, albeit a little less auspiciously than we had hoped. I screened A Canterbury Tale for her and in return she showed me half of The Red Shoes (1948) before the computer seized up—the DVD was too scratched to play past the point where Victoria is offered the principal role in the fateful, eponymous ballet, so our current plan is to reconvene next week and watch an undamaged disc and Black Narcissus (1947).
So far, I like what I've seen. Below are some reactions, although mostly additions and annotations to last night's post. I'm not sure I'm particularly qualified to comment on The Red Shoes until I've seen more than the first hour, but the same caveat on spoilers applies. ( LJ-cut courtesy of setsuled. )
