	Movies - The Line, the Cross and the Curve

The Line, the Cross, and the Curve is a musical short film directed by and starring pop singer Kate Bush. Released in 1993, it co-starred Miranda Richardson and noted choreographer Lindsay Kemp.

This short film is essentially an extended music video featuring songs from Bush's 1993 album, The Red Shoes, which in turn was inspired by the classic movie musical-fantasy The Red Shoes
.

In this version of the tale, Bush plays a frustrated singer-dancer who is enticed by a mysterious woman (Richardson) into putting on a pair of magical ballet slippers. Once on her feet, the shoes start dancing on their own and Bush's character (who is never referred to by name) finds herself in a magical and psychedelic wonderland. Her guide on this strange journey is played by Lindsay Kemp, who in real life was Bush's dancing mentor.

The film was released direct-to-video in most areas and was only a modest success. Soon after its release, Bush effectively dropped out of the public eye. Her eighth studio album, Aerial, was released in November of 2005.
