Directed by two-time BAFTA and Emmy winning David Hinton, this is Scorsese’s personal and moving look at two of British cinemas greatest filmmakers.
Producing, writing, and directing, Powell and Pressburger created some of great classics of the British golden age including The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, A Matter of Life and Death, and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. This film will be an exploration of their genius.
Scorsese will take the audience on a very personal journey as we hear how, from a young age, he was captivated by their films, how they helped shape his own filmmaking, and how a later friendship with Michael Powell left an indelible mark on his own life.
Brought to life with a treasure trove of rare archival material from the personal collections of Powell, Pressburger, and Scorsese, the story will be told using diaries, audio recordings, home movies, personal snapshots, and of course, the films themselves.
