Having now finished my season of viewing and reviewing of Powell & Pressburger movies. Here they are all together, including Powell's Peeping Tom. These are their main films, made during the period where they were, for the most part, at their creative peak.
Some I have had cause to reassess since watching them, as they have lived on visually in my imagination, and hence grown in my appreciation. If my 'carrot' score ratings are anything to go by - Life & Death of Colonel Blimp, The Red Shoes & Black Narcissus are my personal favourites. But these could very well be adjusted in future, who knows. This series I've found one of the most enjoyable and rewarding of these movie seasons so far.
