Storyline

Martin Scorsese celebrates the enduring legacy of visionary writer-directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger-two of British cinema's greatest filmmakers. With a treasure trove of clips and rare archival footage, Scorsese investigates the duo's bold genius and colossal impact on cinema history. — yusufpiskin In his admiration, Martin Scorsese discusses the films of team Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger who made most of their movies under their production company, the Archers, and which are largely characterized by the fantastical and surreal visual elements no matter the subject of the movie. They were able largely to retain creative control over their movies in conjunction with some of the major British studios, first J. Arthur Rank, then London Film Studios. They also uniquely shared joint directing, writing and producing onscreen credits of their movies, which they clarify in old interviews. Scorsese discusses the early careers of both men before their partnership, and then dissects of most of their movies in chronological order, the wartime era movies to 1946 which were primarily supposed to be "propaganda" movies to support the British war effort. He discusses how he incorporated certain aspects of their movies into his own movies. Between the two, Scorsese focuses more of his discussion on Powell, who he sought out early in his own career in the '70s when Powell-Pressburger films had large gone into oblivion and Powell himself was living in somewhat poverty, and who ended up becoming a friend and mentor. Scorsese begins his presentation with how he, as an American child growing up in the '40s and '50s, had access to their and other British filmmakers' movies. — Huggo
