Polishing 'The Red Shoes',[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
What does it take to make the director of "Raging Bull" really happy?
According to his editor, Thelma Schoonmaker (who should know),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it takes a screening of the restored version of Michael Powell's and Emeric Pressburger's "The Red Shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May to thunderous applause.
"I think Marty [Scorsese] was the happiest I've ever seen him in my life," said Schoonmaker by phone from her editing suite in New York. "To see 'The Red Shoes' come back to life so gloriously, and to have it received like that? Oh, it was wonderful."
Starting Christmas Day, the tiny Trylon Microcinema in Minneapolis will screen the new 35-millimeter print of "The Red Shoes" four times. Last month at a theater in New York, the film sold out each of 54 consecutive performances, with moviegoers lined up around the block for weeks.
"They bombarded the box office,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," giggled Schoonmaker, playfully alluding to the film's first scene of ballet-obsessed students bum-rushing the mezzanine of a London theater.
A movie to die for
Made in 1948, and loosely inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen tale of the same name,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "The Red Shoes" conjures what Scorsese has lovingly called a "swirl of color and light and sound" to tell of a young ballerina's fatal preoccupation with her craft.
The consummate film about living and dying for one's art, "The Red Shoes" required -- aptly enough -- nearly three years of sacrificial devotion on the part of Scorsese and Schoonmaker (wife of the late Powell), who consulted on the much-needed restoration.
Improperly stored for decades,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the movie's original three-strip Technicolor negatives -- the "crown jewels," Schoonmaker said -- were covered with mold.
The UCLA Film and Television Archive, in collaboration with Scorsese's Film Foundation and other august groups,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], supervised the digital scanning and scrubbing of more than half a million frames.
"Without digital [technology], we could never have done such miraculous things to the film," Schoonmaker said. "Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we're preserving it on celluloid, since we've discovered that digital is unstable over time. It's an irony that [Powell] would have appreciated."
From 'Shoes' to 'Shutter'
The ravages of time haven't been the only threat to the survival of "The Red Shoes."
In 1948, the film's principal funder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], J. Arthur Rank, saw Powell's work and hated it so much that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to Schoonmaker, he actively fought to suppress it.
Now the movie is a beloved classic, and Schoonmaker, a three-time Oscar-winner, sees its influence everywhere she looks -- often, of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in Scorsese's work.
"There's an absolutely direct reference in 'Shutter Island,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],'" said Schoonmaker, referring to the pair's 18th collaboration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], due out in February. "We have a stairway that's inspired by the one at the end of 'The Red Shoes.' And the shot of [the ballet impresario] smashing the mirror with his hand has been echoed in some of the other films, including 'Raging Bull.'
"But much more than individual shots, I think, what inspires Marty about 'The Red Shoes' is its overall daring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the fact that it's such an incredible portrayal of how artists work, how their egos interact."
Cutting to the heart of it
Having completed "Shutter Island," Schoonmaker is now editing Scorsese's forthcoming documentary on the history of British cinema -- which naturally will include a great deal of Powell's work, if somewhat less than Schoonmaker might prefer.
"It isn't easy to capture the emotional power of [Powell's] films in clips," she said. "My first clip edit of 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' was 40 minutes long! I told Marty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'I don't know what to do!'"相关的主题文章：
