Of all the fashion items that were sort after, it was a pair of shiny 'red shoes'! Isn't it this, that gives this film even further depth - that the story of 'The Red Shoes' leads the wearer to a tragic end. In the 1948 film version of Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tale, a ballet dancer performs to self-destruction and where that was just a fairy-tale - this is a real life tragedy. That fashion either highlights or is the cause of this real life situation gives the film even further strength.

It's amazing how people love to de-com-part-mental-lize the concept of fashion and politics...

I personally think that one the reason may be because the majority under estimate how political the media is, and this is where the nearly insignificant microcosm, only if reported in a lovely but sad story like this short documentary..

Do people get to see how the minds of men are under siege, for the price to feel a part of 'IT', being in fashion..

Politicianc / Classist
Fashion / Classist

Brilliant film..though!
