  2. When I can’t think of what to watch the films of Powell and Pressburger are invariably a good choice. So very English. #powellandpressburger #thearchers

  3. I am a sucker for the films of Powell and Pressburger, and ‘A Matter of Life and Death’ is a favourite. #powellandpressburger #film

  4. Just saw Powell + Pressburger’s THE TALES OF HOFFMANN (1951) at Film at Lincoln Center, beautifully restored by the Film Foundation.

    “Nutty exuberance and excess in performance and production design that rivals any other movie I can think of,” JANET PLANET director Annie Baker said in her intro.

  5. 3 things about Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger’s A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH [1946]

    1. He sheds his clothes as he walks along the beach.
    2. The assembled files on every human being who’s ever lived resemble a vast microchip.
    3. “The rights of the uncommon man must always be respected.”

  6. Wonderful to rewatch A Matter of Life and Death on a big screen with chums (introducing one friend to the film for the first time) at the Cameo Cinema

    Still one of my top ten, all-time favourite films.

  8. #Edinburgh peeps, the lovely Cameo Cinema has a season of Powell & Pressburger movies coming up in Feb picturehouses.com/event-detail

    Simply some of the most exquisitely beautiful films in British cinema, well worth seeing again on the big screen, such a different experience from watching on television

    Already booked to see A Matter of Life & Death, one of my all-time, top ten favourite films.

  9. As silly as it may seem, I felt quite emotional this morning while listening to Thelma Schoonmaker talking to Kermode & Mayo about numerous classic movies I have still to enjoy.

  11. Home visiting dad, we're watching one of my top ten favourite films, A Matter of Life and Death while dinner cooks.

    Powell & Pressburger, who made some of the most beautiful British movies ever filmed, so emotional, such wonderful cinematography.

    Years ago we saw it screened, introduced by legendary Jack Cardiff, who lensed it all those decades before.
