“Why do you want to podcast?…Why do you want to live?” In our final film in our trilogy of the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, we examine the film many consider their magnum opus: The Red Shoes. In our conversation, we talk about our personal relationships to the backstage musical genre, the gorgeous ballet sequence in the middle of the films, and the ambiguity of the film’s ending. Are you doomed to dance until death in the red shoes? Find out on our 80th episode!
