A Hungarian Jew who lived and worked in half a dozen European
countries before arriving in Britain in 1935, Pressburger's
reputation rests on the series of strikingly original films he made
in collaboration with Michael Powell under the banner of The
Archers. The Red Shoes, A Matter of Life and Death, Black Narcissus
and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp all bear the unique credit
'Written, Produced and Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric
Pressburger'. Frequently controversial, always experimental, The
Archers suffered a long period of neglect before being rediscovered
by such prominent admirers as Martin Scorsese, Derek Jarman and
Francis Ford Coppola. Written by his grandson, and containing
extracts from private diaries and correspondence, this biography
defends the notion of film as a collaborative art and illuminates
the adventurous life and work of the film-maker who brought
continental grace, with and style to British cinema.
