A Matter of Life and Death - 1896 (The Criterion Collection)
Adviesprijs: €32,99
€23,49
Bespaar: €9,50
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s heavenly romance, a stunning technicolor reverie… After miraculously surviving a jump from his burning plane, RAF pilot Peter Carter (David Niven) encounters the American radio operator (Kim Hunter) to whom he’s just delivered his dying wishes and, face‐to‐face on a tranquil English beach, the pair fall in love. When a messenger from the afterlife arrives to correct the clerical error that spared his life, Peter must mount a fierce defence for his right to stay on earth—painted by production designer Alfred Junge and cinematographer Jack Cardiff as a rich Technicolor Eden—climbing a wide staircase to stand trial in a starkly beautiful, black‐and‐white modernist heaven. Peppered by humorous jabs intended to smooth tensions between the wartime allies Britain and America, the richly humanistic A Matter of Life and Death, directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, traverses time and space to make a case for the transcendent value of love.
