Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger

Celebrating the legacy of filmmaking partners Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, this heartfelt documentary is a personal tribute from the duo’s most ardent admirer: Martin Scorsese. His infectious passion for their cinema shines through as he shares how their film magic captivated him from a young age, and helped shape his own filmmaking – how Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver is inspired by Lermontov in The Red Shoes, and the fight in Raging Bull is indebted to the duel in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Beyond distinctive insights on the great dreamers’ imaginative and technical ingenuity, it’s Scorsese’s testimony of his enduring love for the beautiful minds and his lifelong friends.
