The Films of Powell & Pressburger

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. This brilliant documentary about film will be appreciated everywhere cinema is appreciated and features rare archival material from the personal collections of Powell, Pressburger and Scorsese. 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.
