I did not have high hopes for Ballet Shoes. It sounded interesting, but the movie poster made it look like some tween sort of low-budget product and I was hardly prepared to fall in love with it. But fall I did, and felt sad to say goodbye when it was over.
You know, sadly, I'd never even heard of Noel Streatfeild before seeing this film and I now I think I have to check out her books.
What makes it bohemian
Set in 1930s London, our characters include:
One lost British paleontologist bachelor
One orphan and three babies in carpet bags
A gray haired nanny
Four eccentric boarders
And a Russian dance teacher
In a tale of...
Aspiring actresses, ballerinas and aviators
Impoverished and making-do in a gloomy and cozy old mansion
Listening at doors
Running away from home
Making vows
And one very romantic dance
And the colors: deliciously soft and greyed out shades of peach, peacock blue, wine, chocolate, dove grey, ivory and periwinkle!

Oh, my daughter and I will definitely need to see this (we're both former ballerinas, sort of). I read the book to her when she was maybe six or seven, and we own another adaptation of the movie. This new one looks particularly special, and especially bohemian!

ReplyDeleteOh how lovely! I LOVE Noel Streatfield, introduced as I was by You've Got Mail. When was that . . . maybe ten years ago? I went straight to Amazon and ordered, certain to love it! I had no idea that a movie had been made. Thank you! Really! Thank you! Movie night is on!
