Description
Jackie and Greg return to the realm of the Archers to discuss another of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's biggest hits, A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH from 1946. Topics include the use of Technicolor, Jack Cardiff's legendary photography, the film's contrarian stylistic choices, the British-American relations at the origin of the film, and how it’s basically the British version of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Join them as they try to put into words that magic touch that permeates all of Powell and Pressburger's best work.#90 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/greatest-films-all-time-2012Check us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew CoxSupport the showSupport the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe
