A Matter of Life and Death
BFI Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-83902-389-7 (ISBN)
Ian Christie's study of the film shows how its creators drew upon many sources and traditions to create a unique form of modern masque, treating contemporary issues with witty allegory and enormous visual imagination. He stresses the teamwork of Powell and Pressburger's gifted collaborators, among them Director of Photography Jack Cardiff, production designer Alfred Junge, and costume designer Hein Heckroth, and explores the history of both British and international responses to the film. Christie argues that the film deserves to be thought of as one of the greatest achievements of British cinema, but of all cinema.
Ian Christie is a film historian, curator, broadcaster and consultant, and is the Anniversary Professor of Film and Media History at Birkbeck College, University of London, UK.
