2009 台北金馬影展 Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival

這部優美又殘忍的電影，從安徒生童話衍生成芭蕾紅星徘徊在藝術與愛情的掙扎，影響了無數藝術家。「雲門舞集」創辦人林懷民看完本片就和舞蹈結下不解之緣，馬丁史柯西斯更用『從未看過這麼完美的電影，神秘難測，不同凡響，令人戰慄不已』形容他的感受，並主導了這部經典電影的修復工程，如此魔力之作，加上數位全新修復，不容錯過。

Under the authoritarian rule of the ballet impresario Boris Lermontov, his protégés realize the full promise of their talents, but at a price: utter devotion to their art and Lermontov himself. Under his guidance, young ballerina Victoria Page is poised for superstardom, but earns Lermontov's scorn when she falls in love with Julian Craster, the composer. Vicky leaves the company and marries Craster, but still finds herself torn between Lermontov's demands and those of her heart.
