Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (12A)

A reflection on the influence of filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.

In this documentary, Martin Scorsese tells the story of his lifelong love-affair with the films of Powell and Pressburger, including The Red Shoes, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus and The Tales of Hoffmann.

“Certain films you simply run all the time and you live with them,” Scorsese says. “As you grow older they grow deeper. I’m not sure how it happens, but it does. For me, that body of work is a wondrous presence, a constant source of energy, and a reminder of what life and art are all about.”

Drawing on a rich array of archive material, Scorsese explores in full the collaboration between the Englishman Powell and the Hungarian Pressburger, celebrating their ability to create “subversive commercial movies” and describes how deeply their films have influenced his own work.
