It was Martin Scorsese who helped to encourage the critical and popular reappraisal of the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger back in the 1970s and now, half a century later, it is only right that it's his voice guiding us in this new documentary on the filmmaking duo.
Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger comes hot on the heels of an exhaustive BFI programme last autumn which showcased the pair's undisputed masterpieces (such as The Red Shoes, A Matter of Life and Death and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp), alongside their lesser-seen pictures (Contraband, The Small Back Room).
