Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger were true visionaries of
British cinema, creating glorious Technicolor masterpieces
including A Matter of Life and Death (1946), Black Narcissus (1947)
and The Red Shoes (1948). Delving into their magical and obsessive
worlds, this lavishly-illustrated publication presents fresh
perspectives on the filmmaking duo, shining the spotlight not only
on them, but also on their circle of talented collaborators. Thelma
Schoonmaker, Caitlin McDonald, Alexandra Harris, Mahesh Rao, Sarah
Street, Ian Christie and Marina Warner write about the key figures
who shared Powell and Pressburger’s creative journey, and Tilda
Swinton, Tim Walker, Sarah Greenwood, Michelle Williams Gamaker,
Sandy Powell, Joanna Hogg and Stephen Jones reflect on the ways in
which Powell and Pressburger’s stories and images have haunted
and inspired them in their own work. The Cinema of Powell and
Pressburger draws on the BFI’s stunning design and archive
collections, as well as key objects held in other public and
private collections.
