A Matter of Life and Death [1946]
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.
