Just booked tickets for the UK premiere of this.
Responsible for classics including The Red Shoes, A Matter of Life and Death, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp and Black Narcissus , the filmmaking duo left an indelible mark on the world of cinema. They also had a formative influence on Martin Scorsese from an early age. In David Hinton’s documentary, Scorsese reflects on how their films and the friendship he developed with Powell has shaped his own filmmaking.
'The opportunity to have Scorsese, who has actively championed the duo’s films for at least half a century, walk the viewer through their work, his history with it and, more surprisingly, describe exactly how he has used some of it in his own pictures, is not to be missed.
