The films of Michael Powell (1905-90) and Emeric Pressburger
(1902-88), among them I Know Where I'm Going! (1945), A Matter of
Life and Death (1947) and The Red Shoes (1948), are landmarks in
British cinema, standing apart from the realist and comic
mainstream with their highly stylised aesthetic and their themes of
romantic longing and spiritual crisis. Powell and Pressburger are
revered by film lovers and film-makers (Martin Scorsese has called
them 'the most successful experimental film-makers in the world').
In this first-ever collection of essays on Powell, an international
group of critics and scholars map out his film-making skills,
providing new readings of individual films, analysing recurrent
techniques and themes, and relating them to contemporary debates
about gender, sexuality, nationality and cinematic spectacle.
Powell, with and without Pressburger, emerges as a film-maker of
lasting originality and significance.
