Film Information

Martin Scorsese first encountered the films of Powell and Pressburger when he was a child, sitting in front of the family TV. When their famous logo came up on screen, Scorsese says, “You knew you were in for fantasy, wonder, magic – real film magic.” Now, in this documentary, he tells the story of his lifelong love-affair with their movies, including The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp , Black Narcissus , The Red Shoes, and The Tales of Hoffmann .

Drawing on a rich array of archive material, Scorsese explores in full the collaboration between the Englishman Powell and the Hungarian Pressburger – two romantics and idealists, who thrived in the face of adversity during World War II but were eventually brought low by the film industry of the 1950’s.

Reviews

“It is both an illustrative look at and guide to Powell and Pressburger’s gorgeous, radical work for the expert, the enthusiast and the student alike.”

Fionnuala Halligan
Screen International

“The work of film-makers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger is discussed with passion and authority by Martin Scorsese in this richly enjoyable documentary, for which he presents his thoughts and recollections directly to camera.”

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian

“It passes the test that all these films must undergo with flying colours: yes, it makes you want to watch those incredible movies.”

David Jenkins
Little White Lies

“This absorbing celebration of the great film-making partnership is elevated by the enthusiasm and authority of narrator Martin Scorsese. (…) It’s an engrossing celebration of two of British cinema’s most distinctive voices, and their creative harmony.”
