Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger

The greatest directorial partnership in film history, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger gave a much-needed jolt of expressionistic exuberance to the British cinema. While the quintessentially English Powell and the European sophisticate Pressburger may have made an unlikely duo, their contrasting sensibilities came together harmoniously in wondrously imaginative pastoral idylls like A CANTERBURY TALE and I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING! The pair reached dizzying new expressive heights when working in Technicolor. As shot by virtuoso cinematographer Jack Cardiff, deliriously stylized fantasias like BLACK NARCISSUS and THE RED SHOES rank among the most glorious visual achievements ever committed to celluloid.
